OGLE-2017-BLG-1375L b
Astrophysical Synthesis & Habitability Characterization
OGLE-2017-BLG-1375L b is a confirmed gas giant exoplanet orbiting the star OGLE-2017-BLG-1375L, located approximately 12817.9 light-years (3930 parsecs) from the Solar System. First announced in 2020 by OGLE using the Microlensing detection technique (detected via relativistic gravitational lensing of a background source star), this world measures 12.4 Earth radii (1.11 Jupiter radii) and has a measured mass of 3585 Earth masses (11.28 Jupiter masses). Combining its mass and radius yields a mean bulk density of 10.37 g/cm³ (an iron-enriched, high-compression rocky core), a surface gravity of 23.32 g⊕ (228.69 m/s²), and an escape velocity of 190.2 km/s.
☁️ Atmospheric Regime (Volatile / Gas Envelope): With a radius of 12.400 R⊕, OGLE-2017-BLG-1375L b exceeds the empirical ~1.8–2.2 R⊕ Fulton radius valley threshold, indicating a substantial hydrogen-helium or supercritical volatile envelope without a conventional solid terrestrial surface.
The host star OGLE-2017-BLG-1375L is classified as a stellar host with a mass of 0.81 M☉.
Methodology: Computed using the Schulze-Makuch et al. (2011) weighted metric comparing physical interior (radius, estimated density) and surface thermal regime (escape velocity, equilibrium temperature).
