OGLE-2005-BLG-071L is a distant, magnitude 19.5 galactic bulge star located in the constellation Scorpius , approximately 11,000 light years away from the Solar System . The star is probably a red dwarf with a mass 43% of that of the Sun .
Planetary system
In 2005 an exoplanet was discovered orbiting this star by the microlensing method,[ 3] the second planet found by this method.[ 2] The planet was later confirmed by the Keck telescope and its properties were refined.[ 2]
