Article Synopsis
- The study discovered a Neptune-mass exoplanet orbiting the low-mass star LHS 3154, which is significantly less massive than the Sun.
- The exoplanet has a short orbital period of 3.7 days and a minimum mass of 13.2 Earth masses, challenging existing theories of planet formation.
- Simulations indicate that the high mass ratio between the planet and its star is unexpected, suggesting that close-in Neptune-mass planets would require much more dust in the protoplanetary disk than typically found around such low-mass stars.
