Spitzer Microlensing parallax reveals two isolated stars in the Galactic bulge
Weicheng Zang, Yossi Shvartzvald, Tianshu Wang +90
We report the mass and distance measurements of two single-lens events from the 2017 Spitzer microlensing campaign. The ground-based observations yield the detection of finite-sour…
OGLE-2017-BLG-1186: first application of asteroseismology and Gaussian processes to microlensing
Shun-Sheng Li, Weicheng Zang, Andrzej Udalski +102
We present the analysis of the event OGLE-2017-BLG-1186 from the 2017 Spitzer microlensing campaign. This is a remarkable microlensing event because its source is photometrically b…
First Resolution of Microlensed Images
Subo Dong, A. Mérand, F. Delplancke-Ströbele +12
We employ VLTI GRAVITY to resolve, for the first time, the two images generated by a gravitational microlens. The measurements of the image separation θ_{-,+}=3.78 +/- 0.05 mas, an…
Microlensing Parallax for OGLE-2017-BLG-0896 Reveals a Counter-Rotating Low-Mass Brown Dwarf
Yossi Shvartzvald, Jennifer C. Yee, Jan Skowron +63
The kinematics of isolated brown dwarfs in the Galaxy, beyond the solar neighborhood, is virtually unknown. Microlensing has the potential to probe this hidden population, as it ca…
OGLE-2016-BLG-1045: A Test of Cheap Space-Based Microlens Parallaxes
I. -G. Shin, A. Udalski, J. C. Yee +35
Microlensing is a powerful and unique technique to probe isolated objects in the Galaxy. To study the characteristics of these interesting objects based on the microlensing method,…
A Detailed Observational Analysis of V1324 Sco, the Most Gamma-Ray Luminous Classical Nova to Date
Thomas Finzell, Laura Chomiuk, Brian D. Metzger +32
It has recently been discovered that some, if not all, classical novae emit GeV gamma rays during outburst, but the mechanisms involved in the production of the gamma rays are stil…
Spitzer Microlensing Program as a Probe for Globular Cluster Planets. Analysis of OGLE-2015-BLG-0448
Radosław Poleski, Wei Zhu, Grant W. Christie +83
The microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-0448 was observed by Spitzer and lay within the tidal radius of the globular cluster NGC 6558. The event had moderate magnification and was int…
MOA-2010-BLG-523: "Failed Planet" = RS CVn Star
A. Gould, J. C. Yee, I. A. Bond +116
The Galactic bulge source MOA-2010-BLG-523S exhibited short-term deviations from a standard microlensing lightcurve near the peak of an Amax ~ 265 high-magnification microlensing e…
Microlensig Binaries with Candidate Brown Dwarf Companions
I. -G. Shin, C. Han, A. Gould +152
Brown dwarfs are important objects because they may provide a missing link between stars and planets, two populations that have dramatically different formation history. In this pa…
Characterizing Low-Mass Binaries From Observation of Long Time-scale Caustic-crossing Gravitational Microlensing Events
I. -G. Shin, C. Han, J. -Y. Choi +119
Despite astrophysical importance of binary star systems, detections are limited to those located in small ranges of separations, distances, and masses and thus it is necessary to u…
Characterizing Lenses and Lensed Stars of High-Magnification Single-lens Gravitational Microlensing Events With Lenses Passing Over Source Stars
J. -Y. Choi, I. -G. Shin, S. -Y. Park +148
We present the analysis of the light curves of 9 high-magnification single-lens gravitational microlensing events with lenses passing over source stars, including OGLE-2004-BLG-254…
Microlensing Binaries Discovered through High-Magnification Channel
I. -G. Shin, J. -Y. Choi, S. -Y. Park +148
Microlensing can provide a useful tool to probe binary distributions down to low-mass limits of binary companions. In this paper, we analyze the light curves of 8 binary lensing ev…
OGLE-2009-BLG-092/MOA-2009-BLG-137: A Dramatic Repeating Event With the Second Perturbation Predicted by Real-Time Analysis
Y. -H. Ryu, C. Han, K. -H. Hwang +105
We report the result of the analysis of a dramatic repeating gravitational microlensing event OGLE-2009-BLG-092/MOA-2009-BLG-137, for which the light curve is characterized by two…
Limb-darkening measurements for a cool red giant in microlensing event OGLE 2004-BLG-482
M. Zub, A. Cassan, D. Heyrovsky +47
Aims: We present a detailed analysis of OGLE 2004-BLG-482, a relatively high-magnification single-lens microlensing event which exhibits clear extended-source effects. These events…
