With a mass ratio q=3.17-0.26+0.28×10-4, the planet lies near the peak of the mass-ratio function derived by the MOA collaboration and near the edge of expected sample sensitivity. For these estimates we provide results using two mass-law priors: one assuming that all stars have an equal planet-hosting probability, and the other assuming that planets are more likely to orbit around more massive stars. In the first scenario, we estimate that the lens system is likely to be a planet of mass mplanet=46-24+42M⊕ and a host star of mass Mhost=0.43-0.23+0.39M⊙, located at a distance DL=7.49-1.13+0.99kpc . For the second scenario, we estimate mplanet=69-34+37M⊕, Mhost=0.66-0.32+0.35M⊙, and DL=7.81-0.93+0.93kpc . The planet has a projected separation as a fraction of the Einstein ring radius s=1.3807-0.0018+0.0018 . As a cool sub-Saturn-mass planet, this planet adds to a growing collection of evidence for revised planetary formation models.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/5109 Space Sciences51 Physical Sciences0201 Astronomical and Space SciencesAstronomy & Astrophysics5101 Astronomical sciences5107 Particle and high energy physicsMOA-2020-BLG-208Lb: Cool Sub-Saturn-Mass Planet Within Predicted DesertJournal ArticleOpenAccess10.3847/1538-3881/acbcc8
