OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb Statistics

Object Type: Jovian
Parent Star: OGLE-2005-BLG-071L
Discovery Status: Confirmed
Mass : 3.5 + 0.3 Jupiters
Semimajor axis (AU): 3.6 + 0.2
Orbital period: 3600 Days
Year Discovered: 27 May 2005
Detection Method: Gravitational microlensing
Discovered By: Udalski et al.

OGLE-2005-BLG-071Lb is an planet discovered by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) and others in 2005, using gravitational microlensing.[1] According to the best fit model, it has about 3.5 times the mass of Jupiter and a projected separation of 3.6 astronomical units from the star.

This would result in an effective temperature around 50 K, similar to that of Neptune. However, an alternative model which gives a slightly lower mass of 3.3 times that of Jupiter and a projected separation of 2.1 AU is only slightly less likely. It may be the most massive planet currently known around a red dwarf star (though only lower limits are known for those planets detected by the radial velocity method).
