KMT-2025-BLG-1616L b: A Microlensing Discovery in the Galactic Bulge
KMT-2025-BLG-1616L is a star located 24500 light-years from Earth. Its reported mass estimate is 0.26 solar masses, smaller than the Sun's, and its spectral type is M V, making it a small, cool red dwarf. One planet is known to orbit this host.
That planet, KMT-2025-BLG-1616L b, was discovered in 2026 by microlensing, a method that detects a planet through the brief brightening its gravity causes when it passes in front of a background star. Its reported mass estimate is 42.3 Earth masses, larger than Earth's. No orbital period is reported for KMT-2025-BLG-1616L b.
