Since the IAU haven't defined extra-solar bodies, it can't formally be called a planet. It could a a Dwarf or even a small extra-solar system body.

In the interim, I'd like to suggest we refer to it as 'Bob'.

Since the subject line says it was "found in Gemini's Brightest Star" you can probably call it what you like

Corona possibly
