MOA-2011-BLG-262L is a red dwarf with an orbiting exoplanet, both detected through the gravitational microlensing event MOA-2011-BLG-262. The planetary system was once believed to be either an exoplanet with 3.2 times the mass of Jupiter and a exomoon with 0.47 times Earth's mass or a red dwarf with a mass of 0.11 solar masses orbited by a ~17 M🜨 planet, but the latter scenario was confirmed in 2024 based on observations of the host star by the Keck telescope, 10 years after the microlensing event.
