On new exoplanet discoveries, we have GJ 338 Bb, a hot MesoNeptunian planet.
GJ 338 Bb
Semi-major axis: 0.141 AU
Eccentricity: 0.11
Orbital period: 24.45 days
Minimum mass: 10.27 / 9.97 Earth masses (two solutions due to the star having two possible mass values. The first was derived by adopting the mass of 0.64 ± 0.07 M_Sol for the parent star, while the second was derived with stellar mass determined by Schweitzer et al. (2019).)
