PS

They're probably not guessing about the mass, especially since they've given it three significant digits. That can be directly inferred from the orbital characteristics of the planet. I don't think they're guessing about the planetary radius, either, since they've published a confidence level of ± 0.07. How that was derived so precisely I do not know.

I have no idea where the figure of 1.4 G came from.
