The Microlensing Planet of KMT-2016-BLG-1397L

KMT-2016-BLG-1397L is a star 21500 light-years away with a reported mass estimate of 0.45 solar masses, smaller than the Sun's. One planet is known to orbit it.

That planet, KMT-2016-BLG-1397L b, was discovered in 2018 by microlensing, a method that reveals a planet through the way its gravity briefly brightens a background star. Its reported mass estimate is 2200 Earth masses, larger than Earth's and roughly 6.92 times Jupiter's mass. No orbital period is reported for the planet.
