[2] Cukier then attended Princeton University as an undergraduate student in the Department of Astrophysical Sciences and graduated in 2024.

[9] The discovery of TOI-1338 b was announced in early January 2020 at the 235th American Astronomical Society meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii.

[11] The petition was unsuccessful in renaming TOI-1338 b, however, the International Astronomical Union announced that the minor planet 1980 RE1 was given the permanent name Sophiexeon in June 2021.

[16][2] The orbit of the two stars is inclined at 89.7° to the plane of the sky (so edge-on) and both primary and secondary eclipses can be observed, although the brightness changes are very small.

[2] The most recent and precise estimate of its mass is roughly 11 times that of Earth, indicating a low density similar to that of circumbinary planet Kepler-47c.

[4] The spin of the primary star also aligns with the orbits of the binary and the planet (spin-orbit angle β = 2.8±17.1 °).
