The KMT-2024-BLG-0404L system
KMT-2024-BLG-0404L is an M red star in Sagittarius, 23 516 ly away, with 2 known planets. All of them were detected by microlensing.

WHAT THIS PAGE IS
] AND IS NOTEvery figure here is the NASA Exoplanet Archive’s composite parameter for that planet — one consistent set per world, not the best number for each column from a different paper. Semi-major axes are orbits about the star, not distances from Earth; the system as a whole is 23 516 ly away.
No habitable zone is drawn: it needs the star’s luminosity, and neither a luminosity nor the radius and temperature that would give one is recorded for KMT-2024-BLG-0404L.
Discovery order and orbital order are different things. Planets are lettered b, c, d in the order they were found, and this table is ordered by semi-major axis instead — which is why the letters on many of these pages are out of sequence.
The plan view at the top puts the planets where their published elements say they are, and there is one thing it deliberately cannot show: which way the whole system is tilted. The inclinations the archive publishes are measured against the plane of the sky, one per planet, and there is no longitude of the ascending node for any planet in this catalogue — so the view perpendicular to the orbits is the only one that needs nothing invented. What that costs is the view from Earth, which for most of these systems is very nearly edge-on, because a system seen any other way does not transit and would never have been found.
