MOA-bin-1L b: A Microlensing Discovery
MOA-bin-1L is a star located 16,600 light-years away. Its mass is 0.75 solar masses, meaning it is less massive than the Sun. One planet has been found orbiting this star.
That planet is MOA-bin-1L b, discovered in 2012 by microlensing. This method detects a planet when its gravity briefly brightens the light of a more distant background star. MOA-bin-1L b has a reported mass estimate of 1,200 Earth masses, which is larger than Earth's mass and roughly 3.78 times Jupiter's mass.
No orbital period is reported for MOA-bin-1L b, so the time it takes to complete one orbit around its star remains undetermined.
