orbits its star every 5.2 days

MAN! That's one fast year. Imagine having to file income tax reports every 6 days! And aging every 6 days, too! Of course, I guess you could live for a coupla' hundred years . . . .

Something seems fishy to me in these “radial-velocity” method calculations. The fact that we’re seeing so many planets that orbit this quickly, it just seems strange. My common sense is tingling.

I’d like to see what data the calculations are based on, and try them for myself.
