About this world
OGLE-2014-BLG-1722L c is a gas giant orbiting OGLE-2014-BLG-1722L, a star 20.9 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 0.98 times the size of Jupiter (its size estimated from its mass) and holds 0.26 Jupiter masses.
At its size it almost certainly keeps a deep envelope of hydrogen and helium.
It was discovered in 2018 by microlensing with OGLE. A foreground star's gravity magnifies a background star; a planet adds a blip. OGLE-2014-BLG-1722L has 2 known planets; the others are OGLE-2014-BLG-1722L b.
