The Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia includes objects up to 25 Jupiter masses, saying, " The fact that there is no special feature around 13 MJup in the observed mass spectrum reinforces the choice to forget this mass limit ," and the Exoplanet Data Explorer includes objects up to 24 Jupiter masses with the advisory: " The 13 Jupiter-mass distinction by the IAU Working Group is physically unmotivated for planets with rocky cores, and observationally problematic due to the sin i ambiguity.
