Amazing, an exoplanet orbiting (possibly) a black hole!<p>><i>"If the present-day compact object is a BH, the formation event may have been a “failed supernova” during which relatively little mass was lost. If instead the present-day compact object is a NS, significant mass may have been lost through a supernova, and there may also have been a “kick”. Nevertheless, the presence of the massive star that is today’s donor would have allowed the system to survive and would have moderated the speed of NS’s natal the kick. Just as it is possible for a binary to survive a supernova explosion, it is also possible for wide-orbit planets to stay bound."</i>
