Designation
[edit]The correct designation for this planet is WASP-4b, with no spaces. This is used by SIMBAD , the discovery paper , and the SuperWASP web site . The use by the Extrasolar Planets Enyclopaedia of a space is inconclusive since this source uniformly uses lower-case letters preceded by a space for planet designators even when, as in the case of PSR B1257+12, this is definitely wrong. (According to this discussion, this is due to a software limitation.) Also, see my remarks at Talk:WASP-12b. Spacepotato (talk) 17:55, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
