==Discovery and observations==
K2-155d is one of 15 exoplanets discovered by a team of Japanese astronomers led by Teruyuki Hirano at the Tokyo Institute of Technology.<ref name="CNET" /> Its discovery is based on data from the K2 mission of NASA's [[Kepler (spacecraft)|Kepler spacecraft]].<ref name="CNET" /> The exoplanet has also been observed from ground-based telescopes including the [[Nordic Optical Telescope]] (NOT) in La Palma and the [[Subaru Telescope]] in Hawaii.<ref name="CNET" /> Its characteristics were confirmed using [[speckle imaging]] and [[Optical spectroscopy|high-dispersion optical spectroscopy]].<ref name="Hirano_et_al_2018" /> The mass of K2-155d and the brightness of its host star may be measured by future observations from the [[W. M. Keck Observatory]] and the [[James Webb Space Telescope]].<ref name="Hirano_et_al_2018" /> The brightness of its host star makes K2-155d a good target for future studies using instruments such as the James Webb Space Telescope.<ref name="Hirano_et_al_2018" />
