OGLE-2017-BLG-0039: Microlensing Event with Light from the Lens Identified from Mass Measurement
C. Han, Y. K. Jung, A. Udalski +58
We present the analysis of the caustic-crossing binary microlensing event OGLE-2017-BLG-0039. Thanks to the very long duration of the event, with an event time scale $t_{\rm E}\sim…
A study of light travel time effect in short-period MOA eclipsing binaries via eclipse timing

We present the analysis of the binary-microlensing event OGLE-2014-BLG-0289. The event light curve exhibits very unusual five peaks where four peaks were produced by caustic crossi…
Ground-based parallax confirmed by Spitzer: binary microlensing event MOA-2015-BLG-020
Tianshu Wang, Wei Zhu, Shude Mao +83
We present the analysis of the binary gravitational microlensing event MOA-2015-BLG-020. The event has a fairly long timescale (about 63 days) and thus the light curve deviates sig…
The First Eclipsing Binary Catalogue from the MOA-II database
M. C. A. Li, N. J. Rattenbury, A. Bond +25
We present the first catalogue of eclipsing binaries in two MOA fields towards the Galactic bulge, in which over 8,000 candidates, mostly contact and semi-detached binaries of peri…

We report the discovery of a binary composed of two brown dwarfs, based on the analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-2016-BLG-1469. Thanks to detection of both finite-source and…
OGLE-2013-BLG-0102LA,B: Microlensing binary with components at star/brown-dwarf and brown-dwarf/planet boundaries
Y. K. Jung, A. Udalski, T. Sumi +51
We present the analysis of the gravitational microlensing event OGLE-2013-BLG-0102. The light curve of the event is characterized by a strong short-term anomaly superposed on a smo…
Candidate Gravitational Microlensing Events for Future Direct Lens Imaging
C. B. Henderson, H. Park, T. Sumi +76
The mass of the lenses giving rise to Galactic microlensing events can be constrained by measuring the relative lens-source proper motion and lens flux. The flux of the lens can be…
Interpretation of a Short-Term Anomaly in the Gravitational Microlensing Event MOA-2012-BLG-486
K. -H. Hwang, J. -Y. Choi, I. A. Bond +78
A planetary microlensing signal is generally characterized by a short-term perturbation to the standard single lensing light curve. A subset of binary-source events can produce per…
Microlensing Discovery of a Population of Very Tight, Very Low-mass Binary Brown Dwarfs
J. -Y. Choi, C. Han, A. Udalski +121
Although many models have been proposed, the physical mechanisms responsible for the formation of low-mass brown dwarfs are poorly understood. The multiplicity properties and minim…
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…
Using Orbital Effects to Break the Close/wide Degeneracy in Binary-lens Microlensing Events
I. -G. Shin, T. Sumi, A. Udalski +37
Microlensing can provide an important tool to study binaries, especially those composed of faint or dark objects. However, accurate analysis of binary-lens light curves is often ha…
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…
