A free-floating-planet microlensing event caused by a Saturn-mass object

Subo Dong, Zexuan Wu, Yoon-Hyun Ryu +39

A population of free-floating planets is known from gravitational microlensing surveys. None have a directly measured mass, owing to a degeneracy with the distance, but the populat…

Microlensing events indicate that super-Earth exoplanets are common in Jupiter-like orbits

Weicheng Zang, Youn Kil Jung, Jennifer C. Yee +65

Exoplanets classified as super-Earths are commonly observed on short period orbits, close to their host stars, but their abundance on wider orbits is poorly constrained. Gravitatio…
