A Distant Microlensing Discovery: KMT-2019-BLG-1042L and Its Planet

KMT-2019-BLG-1042L is a star located 21500 light-years away. Its reported mass estimate is 0.3 solar masses, smaller than the Sun's mass, though the reported mass estimate is approximate.

One planet orbits this host. KMT-2019-BLG-1042L b was discovered in 2022 by microlensing, a method that reveals a planet through the gravitational deflection of light from a background source rather than through direct observation. The planet's reported mass estimate is 60.4 Earth masses, larger than Earth's mass.

No orbital period is reported for KMT-2019-BLG-1042L b.
