No evidence for a hot Jupiter around HD 188753 A. Reply from Maciej Konacki.

For the moment, this planet has been moved to the "unconfirmed" list on the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia.

It's a very saddening loss. But still, I read that it's possible an orbital solution can be re-made to fit the radial velocity data for HD 188753 A. So there may be a planet, but it certainly does not have the previously believed parameters. IF another planet is found, what will it's name be? b or c?
