It is known that the discovered exoplanet is located in the system OGLE-2007-BLG-349.

The planet rotates at a distance of 450 million kilometers from the star, about the same distance from the Sun is the asteroid belt. The distance between the two red dwarfs is about 10.5 million kilometers.

The system was opened back in 2007, then the scientists considered two possible scenarios of its existence. One of them suggested that similar to the planet Saturn revolves around two stars, and the second two planets, one with a mass comparable to the mass of Saturn, and the second is the mass of the Earth) revolved around the same star.
