A Distant Microlensing Planet Host
KMT-2016-BLG-2321L is a star 11700 light-years away with a mass of 0.73 solar masses, meaning its mass is measured against the Sun's. One planet has been found orbiting this host.
That planet, KMT-2016-BLG-2321L b, was discovered in 2024 by microlensing, a method that reveals a planet through the way its gravity briefly brightens a background star. The planet has a reported mass of 302 Earth masses, larger than Earth's mass.
No orbital period is reported for KMT-2016-BLG-2321L b.
