About this world

OGLE-2018-BLG-0799L b is a gas giant orbiting OGLE-2018-BLG-0799L, a star 13.2 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 0.97 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 2022 by microlensing with OGLE. A foreground star's gravity magnifies a background star; a planet adds a blip.
