            Alternative planet names KOI-6837 A(ab) b
            Description This circumbinary planet candidate is located in an SB4 system comprising an eclipsing binary (the planet host) and a secondary SB2 system. It was discovered by observing the system's eclipse timing variations. Further observations will be needed to confirm the existence. Evolutionary models predict a very young system age of 32–36 million years, implying the stars are still pre-main sequence stars.
