About this world

KMT-2016-BLG-1107L b is a gas giant orbiting KMT-2016-BLG-1107L, a star 21.7 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 1.2 times the size of Jupiter (its size estimated from its mass) and holds 3.3 Jupiter masses.

At its size it almost certainly keeps a deep envelope of hydrogen and helium.

It was discovered in 2019 by microlensing with KMTNet. A foreground star's gravity magnifies a background star; a planet adds a blip.
