A Microlensing Planet Around KMT-2018-BLG-0247L
KMT-2018-BLG-0247L is a star 22300 light-years away with a reported mass estimate of 0.27 solar masses, smaller than the Sun's. One planet is known to orbit it.
That planet, KMT-2018-BLG-0247L b, was discovered in 2022 by microlensing, a method that reveals a planet through the gravitational deflection of light from a background source. Its reported mass estimate is 671 Earth masses, larger than Earth's and roughly 2.11 times Jupiter's mass. No orbital period is reported for KMT-2018-BLG-0247L b.
