Notes	One of three known planets orbiting the Sun-like star Chalawan or 46 Ursae Majoris in the southern parts of Ursa Major. With Taphao Thong, Taphao Kaew forms an inner pair of gas giant planets, of which it is the outer and less massive of the two. These two inner planets share their system with a third as-yet-unnamed gas giant in a more distant orbit. This third planet is estimated to orbit Chalawan at twice the distance of Taphao Kaew.
