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 in the constellation Cancer 91 light-years (28 parsecs) away from Earth.[4] The planet was discovered in 2019.[5][6] The planet's density is too low for a rocky composition, suggesting that it is either water-rich or has a significant hydrogen atmosphere.[3]
