A Microlensed Planet Around KMT-2024-BLG-2242L
KMT-2024-BLG-2242L is a star 24900 light-years away with a reported mass estimate of 0.069 solar masses, smaller than the Sun's. That mass estimate belongs to the host star alone rather than to any wider stellar system. A single planet is known to orbit this host.
That planet, KMT-2024-BLG-2242L b, was found by microlensing in 2025 and has a reported mass estimate of 14 Earth masses, larger than Earth's. No orbital period is reported for KMT-2024-BLG-2242L b.
