All these planetary distances are quoted in billions of km/miles, or is should it be millions of km/miles?
e.g. The planet is ~0.1 AU from Fomalhaut, and not > 100 AU?
Both are plausible, but most exoplanets so far are discovered in tight orbits, not twice the distance of our Kuiper Belt and then some.
