The TESS Ten Thousand Catalog: 10,001 uniformly-vetted and -validated Eclipsing Binary Stars detected in Full-Frame Image data by machine learning and analyzed by citizen scientists

Veselin B. Kostov, Brian P. Powell, Aline U. Fornear +36

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has surveyed nearly the entire sky in Full-Frame Image mode with a time resolution of 200 seconds to 30 minutes and a temporal base…

KMT-2023-BLG-1866Lb: Microlensing super-Earth around an M dwarf host

Cheongho Han, Ian A. Bond, Andrzej Udalski +64

We investigate the nature of the short-term anomaly that appears in the lensing light curve of KMT-2023-BLG-1866. The anomaly was only partly covered due to its short duration, les…

Mass Production of 2023 KMTNet Microlensing Planets. II: Two Planets and A Brown Dwarf

Zhixing Li, Hongyu Li, Weicheng Zang +63

To expand the homogeneous microlensing planetary sample of the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet), we investigate six planetary candidates identified by the AnomalyFinde…

Six binary brown dwarf candidates identified by microlensing

Cheongho Han, Chung-Uk Lee, Ian A. Bond +57

In this study, we analyze microlensing events from the 2023 and 2024 observing seasons to identify cases likely caused by binary systems composed of BDs. By applying criteria that…

New Giant Planet beyond the Snow Line for an Extended MOA Exoplanet Microlens Sample

Clément Ranc, David P. Bennett, Richard K. Barry +28

Characterizing a planet detected by microlensing is hard if the planetary signal is weak or the lens-source relative trajectory is far from caustics. However, statistical analyses…

Analysis of the full Spitzer microlensing sample I: Dark remnant candidates and Gaia predictions

Krzysztof A. Rybicki, Yossi Shvartzvald, Jennifer C. Yee +70

In the pursuit of understanding the population of stellar remnants within the Milky Way, we analyze the sample of microlensing events observed by the Spitzer Space Teles…
