About this world

MOA-2013-BLG-220L b is a gas giant orbiting MOA-2013-BLG-220L, a star 21.9 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 1.2 times the size of Jupiter (its size estimated from its mass) and holds 2.7 Jupiter masses.

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

It was discovered in 2014 by microlensing with MOA. A foreground star's gravity magnifies a background star; a planet adds a blip.
