About this world

OGLE-2017-BLG-1140L b is a gas giant orbiting OGLE-2017-BLG-1140L, a star. It is about 1.2 times the size of Jupiter (its size estimated from its mass) and holds 1.6 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.
