update: 23 December 1996
The planet(s):
- Detection method: Microlensing
- Basic data:
- M: ~ 5 MJ
- Semi-major axis: > 5 - 10 AU ?
- Remarks: The microlensing method only gives the star-planet
distance projected on the sky at the moment of observation of `planet'
event. An orbit cannot be determined since the event is seen only once.
