OGLE-2005-BLG-390L

OGLE-2005-BLG-390L is a star thought to be a spectral type M (a red dwarf; 95% probability, 4% probability it is a white dwarf, <1% probability it is a neutron star or black hole). This galactic bulge star is located in the Scorpius constellation at a far distance of about 21,500 light years, near the border with Sagittarius.

OGLE-2006-BLG-109Lc is an extrasolar planet approximately 4,925 light-years away in the constellation of Scorpius. The planet was detected orbiting the star OGLE-2006-BLG-109L in 2008 by a research team using Microlensing. The host star is about 50% the mass of the Sun and the planet is about 90% the mass of Saturn.

G350.1-0.3 is a supernova remnant which is located in the constellation Scorpius. It is in the Milky Way, and possibly associated with a neutron star (XMMU J172054.5-372652) formed in the same supernova explosion. The object was formerly mistakenly classified as a distant galaxy.

OGLE-2005-BLG-071Lb

OGLE-2005-BLG-071Lb is a planet discovered by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) and others in 2005, using gravitational microlensing. According to the best fit model, it has about 3.5 times the mass of Jupiter and a projected separation of 3.6 astronomical units from the star. This would result in an effective temperature around 50 K, similar to that of Neptune. However, an alternative model which gives a slightly lower mass of 3.3 times that of Jupiter and a projected separation of 2.1 AU is only slightly less likely. It may be the most massive planet currently known around

thumb | right OGLE-2007-BLG-368Lb is an extrasolar planet located approximately 19,230 light-years away in the constellation of Scorpius, orbiting the star OGLE-2007-BLG-368L. This planet was detected on December 8, 2009 by the gravitational microlensing by Sumi. It has mass 6.94% of Jupiter (i.e. 22 times that of Earth) and is located 3.3 AU from the star when observed. Based on those properties it would classify as a Cold Neptune. It is the second Cold Neptune to be observed, the first being OGLE-2005-BLG-169Lb. This planet is most likely be similar to Uranus and Neptune in the Solar System

K2-33b (also known by its EPIC designation EPIC 205117205.01) is a very young super-Neptune exoplanet, orbiting the pre-main-sequence star K2-33. It was discovered by NASA's Kepler space telescope on its "Second Light" mission. It is located about away from Earth in the constellation of Scorpius. The exoplanet was found by using the transit method, in which the dimming effect that a planet causes as it crosses in front of its star is measured.
