Cheongho Han, Andrzej Udalski, Ian A. Bond +59
We carried out a project involving the systematic analysis of microlensing data from the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network survey. The aim of this project is to identify lensing…
Microlensing brown-dwarf companions in binaries detected during the 2022 and 2023 seasons
Cheongho Han, Ian A. Bond, Andrzej Udalski +63
Building on previous works to construct a homogeneous sample of brown dwarfs in binary systems, we investigate microlensing events detected by the Korea Microlensing Telescope Netw…
Short-period Heartbeat Binaries from TESS Full-Frame Images
Siddhant Solanki, Agnieszka M. Cieplak, Jeremy Schnittman +9
We identify short-period ( days) binary systems in the TESS data, of which are heartbeat binaries (HB). The sample is mostly a mix of A and B-type stars…
OGLE-2018-BLG-0971, MOA-2023-BLG-065, and OGLE-2023-BLG-0136: Microlensing events with prominent orbital effects
Cheongho Han, Andrzej Udalski, Ian A. Bond +60
We undertake a project to reexamine microlensing data gathered from high-cadence surveys. The aim of the project is to reinvestigate lensing events with light curves exhibiting int…
OGLE-2015-BLG-0845L: A low-mass M dwarf from the microlensing parallax and xallarap effects

We present the analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-0845, which was affected by both the microlensing parallax and xallarap effects. The former was detected via the sim…
Short-Period Variables in TESS Full-Frame Image Light Curves Identified via Convolutional Neural Networks
Greg Olmschenk, Richard K. Barry, Stela Ishitani Silva +9
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission measured light from stars in ~85% of the sky throughout its two-year primary mission, resulting in millions of TESS 30-minu…
