About this world
KMT-2023-BLG-0469L b is a Neptune-like planet orbiting KMT-2023-BLG-0469L, a star 23.1 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 0.63 times the size of Jupiter (its size estimated from its mass) and holds 0.12 Jupiter masses.
At its size it almost certainly keeps a deep envelope of hydrogen and helium.
It was discovered in 2024 by microlensing with KMTNet. A foreground star's gravity magnifies a background star; a planet adds a blip.
