SWEEPS-11
SWEEPS-11 is an extrasolar planet orbiting SWEEPS J175902.67−291153.5 in the constellation Sagittarius, approximately 27,710 light years away from the Solar System (based on a distance modulus of 14.1), making it (along with SWEEPS-04) the most distant exoplanet(s) known. This planet was found in 2006 by the Sagittarius Window Eclipsing Extrasolar Planet Search (SWEEPS) program that uses the transit method.

SWEEPS-10
SWEEPS-10 is an extrasolar planet that, from June 2007 to August 2011, was the planet candidate with the shortest orbital period yet found, until PSR J1719-1438 b was discovered in 2011 with an even shorter orbit. The planet orbits the star SWEEPS J175902.00−291323.7 located in the Galactic bulge at a distance of approximately 22,000 light years from Earth (based on a distance modulus of 14.1).
