MOA-2016-BLG-526L b: A Microlensing Discovery
MOA-2016-BLG-526L is a star located 22700 light-years from Earth, with a reported mass of 0.36 solar masses. This star hosts one known planet.
The planet, MOA-2016-BLG-526L b, was discovered in 2024 by microlensing, a method in which a foreground star's gravity briefly brightens a background star. It has a reported mass of 14.9 Earth masses, larger than Earth's, while the host star's mass is smaller than the Sun's. No orbital period is reported for MOA-2016-BLG-526L b.
