A Sub-Earth-Mass Moon Orbiting a Gas Giant Primary or a High Velocity Planetary System in the Galactic Bulge
D. P. Bennett, V. Batista, I. A. Bond +90
We present the first microlensing candidate for a free-floating exoplanet-exomoon system, MOA-2011-BLG-262, with a primary lens mass of M_host ~ 4 Jupiter masses hosting a sub-Eart…
MOA-2010-BLG-328Lb: a sub-Neptune orbiting very late M dwarf ?
K. Furusawa, A. Udalski, T. Sumi +119
We analyze the planetary microlensing event MOA-2010-BLG-328. The best fit yields host and planetary masses of Mh = 0.11+/-0.01 M_{sun} and Mp = 9.2+/-2.2M_Earth, corresponding to…
A Super-Jupiter orbiting a late-type star: A refined analysis of microlensing event OGLE-2012-BLG-0406
Y. Tsapras, J. -Y. Choi, R. A. Street +122
We present a detailed analysis of survey and follow-up observations of microlensing event OGLE-2012-BLG-0406 based on data obtained from 10 different observatories. Intensive cover…
Microlensing Discovery of a Tight, Low Mass-ratio Planetary-mass Object around an Old, Field Brown Dwarf
C. Han, Y. K. Jung, A. Udalski +67
Observations of accretion disks around young brown dwarfs have led to the speculation that they may form planetary systems similar to normal stars. While there have been several de…
The Microlensing Event Rate and Optical Depth Toward the Galactic Bulge from MOA-II
T. Sumi, D. P. Bennett, I. A. Bond +19
We present measurements of the microlensing optical depth and event rate toward the Galactic Bulge based on two years of the MOA-II survey. This sample contains ~1000 microlensing…
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…
