G 9-40 b is a sub-Neptune exoplanet that has an orbital period of 5.7 days. The host star is a red dwarf located 91lk=onNaNlk=on away from Earth in the constellation Cancer. The planet was discovered in 2019.[1] [2] The planet's density is too low for a rocky composition, suggesting that it is either water-rich or has a significant hydrogen atmosphere.
