Help me out. Does that mean it’s a captured rogue planet?

It is stated in the article that it is a "second generation planet.". The primary star went red giant and destroyed all the previous Exoplanets. The one they observed has reformed from that debre.

It's a preprint tough, so not yet peer reviews. So for now maybe to be taken with a grain of salt.
