Was my edit correct?
editSDSS J1228+1040 b doesn't even have a known mass, and PSR B1828-11 b doesn't even show up on exoplanet.eu? Yeah my edits are probably correct Cosmicwolfanimations (talk) 14:22, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- J1228 b does have a mass for the range of 60 – 600 km that is partially consistent with hydrostatic equilibrium for its density. PSR B1828–11 b is on exoplanet.eu and has a known mass that is also consistent with hydrostatic equilibrium. The radius of PSR B1828–11 b is very uncertain though.

- Oh. And also, if objects have uncertainty, should they be removed? Also, I searched it up on there, it didn't pop up. Probably just a database change so it's suitable for mobile. Cosmicwolfanimations (talk) 22:38, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- I’m not sure about the uncertainty in this case since it appeared to be modelling based on basically guessing orbital inclination for what it would be if the planet was <109 cm (values of 0 – 80°), which is the maximum radius, since it would have to be 1 M☉. This gave values of 106 – 5×107 cm, this is presumably the acceptable range for this planet and can still be used, but not as an average. Also, it does appear on exoplanet.eu but you have to enable planet candidates. SpaceImplorerExplorerImplorer 08:32, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Currently, the article on SDSS J1228+1040 b is just a tiny stub, with just a sentence and an infobox, and it's unlikely that it will be expanded in the future. Since the only relevant thing about it is its size, a merge with this list is more appropriate. InTheAstronomy32 (talk) 23:59, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose This is not a planet but is included here as the smallest known extrasolar object; a merge to exoasteroid would be better. However, there also seem to be multiple published papers that could be used to expand the article, perhaps at the title SDSS J1228+1040 (covering the entire system).
