Astronomical Disaster: Deneb Exoplanets?

Some graph work using ms paint...










Planet          Semi-major   Orbital                            
                      Axis                Period(days)  RV           Mass (Jupiters)
Deneb b      0.3294401AU  448                     8km/s    24.90060187

Its orbiting inside the 1AU coronal radius of Deneb.

Albedo   Temp. 
     0.1       9995 K

A brown dwarf is 15-75 Jupiter masses. So here we have a brown dwarf orbiting Deneb inside its coronal radius. The temperature is way beyond the melting point of any element. It may have been reduced to a plasma undergoing fusion.
