    "Hot Jupiters with relatives: discovery of additional planets in orbit around WASP-41 and WASP-47"

    Basically, After K2 mission found that there are two rocky planets around WASP-47, an additional warm Jupiter was discovered around WASP-47, bringing the planet count up to four. It has a period of ~572 days and a minimum mass of 1.24 ± 0.22 Jupiter masses.

    So does this make this system system to 55 Cancri A?
