:CHECKLIST
Known and unknown, as the archive has it
[ ] A radius from transit photometry. Yes.
[ ] A weight, not just a width. Yes.
[ ] A density, so rock and gas can be told apart. No.
[ ] An orbital distance. Yes.
[ ] A temperature someone observed rather than calculated. No.
[ ] An eccentricity, so the orbit shape is known. No.

:PATH
What seeing it actually provides
A position, a brightness, and light that can be split into a spectrum.

:NOTE
Found by Spitzer Space Telescope in 2006.

:NOTE
This is one of the rare planets that has actually been photographed. Fewer than a hundred of the thousands known were found this way, and they are mostly young giants far from their stars.
