All...

see news from the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopedia for 06/16/2008

No other details except for the star and planet parameters...

The Extra Solar Super Earths conference is under away in Nantes this week (06/16/2008).

This ESO release suggests that 1-in-3 Sun-like stars have such super-Earths, so there are a lot more to come.
