OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb: First Spitzer Bulge Planet Lies Near the Planet/Brown-Dwarf Boundary

Y. -H. Ryu, J. C. Yee, A. Udalski +106

We report the discovery of OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb, which is likely to be the first Spitzer microlensing planet in the Galactic bulge/bar, an assignation that can be confirmed by two…

Microlensing constraints on the mass of single stars from HST astrometric measurements

Noé Kains, A. Calamida, K. C. Sahu +13

We report on the first results from a large-scale observing campaign aiming to use astrometric microlensing to detect and place limits on the mass of single objects, including stel…

Relativistic deflection of background starlight measures the mass of a nearby white dwarf star

Kailash C. Sahu, Jay Anderson, Stefano Casertano +12

Gravitational deflection of starlight around the Sun during the 1919 total solar eclipse provided measurements that confirmed Einstein's general theory of relativity. We have used…

OGLE-2014-BLG-1112LB: A Microlensing Brown Dwarf Detected Through the Channel of a Gravitational Binary-Lens Event

C. Han, A. Udalski, V. Bozza +15

Due to the nature depending on only the gravitational field, microlensing, in principle, provides an important tool to detect faint and even dark brown dwarfs. However, the number…
