A Distant Planet Around UKIRT-2017-BLG-001L

UKIRT-2017-BLG-001L is a star 20500 light-years away with a mass of 0.81 solar masses. One planet has been found in orbit around it.

That planet is UKIRT-2017-BLG-001L b, discovered in 2018 by microlensing, a method that reveals a planet through the way its gravity bends light from a more distant source. Its mass estimate is 407 Earth masses, larger than Earth's. No orbital period is reported for UKIRT-2017-BLG-001L b, so the time it takes to complete one orbit remains undetermined.
