The article says that Kappa Andromedae "is the star with the highest mass discovered to host an exoplanet or brown dwarf." However, Epsilon Tauri is more massive. -- Artman40 ( talk) 20:39, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
Given that it's been directly imaged, and that this fact was actually featured on the main page, the article should include a picture of Kappa Andromedae b as soon as that's practical. I don't have one at hand, myself... Wyvern ( talk) 04:45, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
New research declares this object to be a brown dwarf with about 50 times more massive than Jupiter. -- Artman40 ( talk) 09:32, 16 September 2013 (UTC) Yet this claim is disputed in this paper. The age/mass of this object is a topic of debate at the moment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2632cgn ( talk • contribs) 00:06, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
