28 Jan 2014: Based on dynamical considerations of orbital stability, Orner et al. (2014) cast doubt on the planet candidates UZ For(AB) b and c.
08 Jun 2011: According to Potter at al. (2011) this planet "fits the data nicely, but such a solution would be unstable [given the presence of the inner planet UZ For(ab)d] ".
08 Jun 2011: Planet designated by Potter et al. as object "3". We have chosen to name it as object "c" (see Schneider et al. 2011 and README).
08 Jun 2011: New planet parameters derived by Potter et al. (2011) from new observations.
09 Feb 2011: The 14 M_Jup mass and the orbital inclination of 80 deg. for the companion UZ For(ab)c assume that its orbit is coplanar with the primary orbit (Dai et al. 2010).
