About this world
OGLE-2012-BLG-0026L b is a Neptune-like planet orbiting OGLE-2012-BLG-0026L, a yellow, Sun-like star (type G5V) 13.1 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 0.69 times the size of Jupiter (its size estimated from its mass) and holds 0.15 Jupiter masses.
At its size it almost certainly keeps a deep envelope of hydrogen and helium.
It was discovered in 2012 by microlensing with OGLE. A foreground star's gravity magnifies a background star; a planet adds a blip. OGLE-2012-BLG-0026L has 2 known planets; the others are OGLE-2012-BLG-0026L c.
