...With an estimated mass of around 100 times that of Earth or 0.3 times the mass of Jupiter, TWA 7b is ten times lighter than any exoplanet previously directly imaged.

TWA 7b was discovered in the debris rings that surround the low-mass star CE Antilae, also known as TWA 7, located around 111 light-years from Earth.

Here's a link to the list of JEST approved programs. After some brief poking around, I also discovered they're doing a exoplanet search around Altair, which is completed.
