The name J1407b follows the exoplanet naming convention by adding the letter "b" after the host star's name. [5] At the time of J1407b's discovery, V1400 Centauri was known as "J1407", which is the shortened form of the star's full SuperWASP catalogue designation 1SWASP J140747.93–394542.6.
V1400 Centauri, also known as 1SWASP J140747.93−394542.6 or simply J1407, is a young, pre-main-sequence star that was eclipsed by the likely free-floating substellar object J1407b in April–June 2007.
2012 — It has been surmised that J1407b, a possibly planetary-mass object that eclipsed the star V1400 Centauri (aka. J1407) in 2007, may have a few moons based on gaps observed in its circumstellar disk or ring system. [1]
Unfortunately it doesn't help that popular science media still keep propagating this outdated notion of J1407b as a "Super Saturn" , as they heavily rely on press releases and don't do/keep up with original research on their own (take this as an observation of mine from experience, not an absolute truth). If you still insist on removing either ...
Comment: The J1407b article was converted from redirect into article as a result of a split from the V1400 Centauri article. I began slowly expanding V1400 Centauri on 8 July 2024, but I did not add much to the J1407b section until 24 July 2024. As of today, it's been 5 days since I significantly expanded the J1407b section.

2M1207b is a planetary-mass object orbiting the brown dwarf 2M1207, in the constellation Centaurus, approximately 170 light-years from Earth. [5] It is one of the first candidate exoplanets to be directly observed (by infrared imaging).
