OGLE-2012-BLG-0406L b: A Microlensing Planet

OGLE-2012-BLG-0406L is a star 11,700 light-years away with one known planet. Its reported mass estimate is 0.48 solar masses, smaller than the Sun's.

The planet, OGLE-2012-BLG-0406L b, was discovered in 2013 by microlensing, a method that detects a planet when its gravity briefly brightens a background star. Its reported mass estimate is 868 Earth masses, larger than Earth's and roughly 2.73 times Jupiter's mass. No orbital period is reported for OGLE-2012-BLG-0406L b.
