Systematic Reanalysis of KMTNet microlensing events, Paper I: Updates of the Photometry Pipeline and a New Planet Candidate
Hongjing Yang, Jennifer C. Yee, Kyu-Ha Hwang +52
In this work, we update and develop algorithms for KMTNet tender-love care (TLC) photometry in order to create an new, mostly automated, TLC pipeline. We then start a project to sy…
Keck and Hubble Observations Show That MOA-2008-BLG-379Lb Is a Super-Jupiter Orbiting an M Dwarf
David P. Bennett, Aparna Bhattacharya, Jean-Philippe Beaulieu +11
We present high angular resolution imaging that detects the MOA-2008-BLG-379L exoplanet host star using Keck adaptive optics and the Hubble Space Telescope. These observations reve…
OGLE-2014-BLG-0221Lb: A Jupiter Mass Ratio Companion Orbiting either a Late-Type Star or a Stellar Remnant
Rintaro Kirikawa, Takahiro Sumi, David P. Bennett +33
We present the analysis of microlensing event OGLE-2014-BLG-0221, a planetary candidate event discovered in 2014. The photometric light curve is best described by a binary-lens sin…
KMT-2021-BLG-1547Lb: Giant microlensing planet detected through a signal deformed by source binarity
Cheongho Han, Weicheng Zang, Youn Kil Jung +52
We investigate the previous microlensing data collected by the KMTNet survey in search of anomalous events for which no precise interpretations of the anomalies have been suggested…
OGLE-2019-BLG-0825: Constraints on the Source System and Effect on Binary-lens Parameters arising from a Five Day Xallarap Effect in a Candidate Planetary Microlensing Event
Yuki K. Satoh, Naoki Koshimoto, David P. Bennett +86
We present an analysis of microlensing event OGLE-2019-BLG-0825. This event was identified as a planetary candidate by preliminary modeling. We find that significant residuals from…
Brown dwarf companions in binaries detected from the 2021 season high-cadence microlensing surveys
Cheongho Han, Youn Kil Jung, Ian A. Bond +45
As a part of the project aiming to build a homogeneous sample of binary-lens (2L1S) events containing brown-dwarf (BD) companions, we investigate the 2021 season microlensing data…
KMT-2022-BLG-0475Lb and KMT-2022-BLG-1480Lb: Microlensing ice giants detected via non-caustic-crossing channel
Cheongho Han, Chung-Uk Lee, Ian A. Bond +49
We investigate the microlensing data collected in the 2022 season from the high-cadence microlensing surveys in order to find weak signals produced by planetary companions to lense…
KMT-2021-BLG-1150Lb: Microlensing planet detected through a densely covered planetary-caustic signal
Cheongho Han, Youn Kil Jung, Ian A. Bond +49
Recently, there have been reports of various types of degeneracies in the interpretation of planetary signals induced by planetary caustics. In this work, we check whether such deg…
Probable brown dwarf companions detected in binary microlensing events during the 2018-2020 seasons of the KMTNet survey
Cheongho Han, Youn Kil Jung, Doeon Kim +48
We inspect the microlensing data of the KMTNet survey collected during the 2018--2020 seasons in order to find lensing events produced by binaries with brown-dwarf companions. In o…
MOA-2022-BLG-249Lb: Nearby microlensing super-Earth planet detected from high-cadence surveys
Cheongho Han, Andrew Gould, Youn Kil Jung +51
We investigate the data collected by the high-cadence microlensing surveys during the 2022 season in search for planetary signals appearing in the light curves of microlensing even…
Systematic KMTNet Planetary Anomaly Search. IX. Complete Sample of 2016 Prime-Field Planets
In-Gu Shin, Jennifer C. Yee, Weicheng Zang +58
As a part of the ``Systematic KMTNet Planetary Anomaly Search" series, we report five new planets (namely, OGLE-2016-BLG-1635Lb, MOA-2016-BLG-532Lb, KMT-2016-BLG-0625Lb, OGLE-2016-…
Free-Floating planet Mass Function from MOA-II 9-year survey towards the Galactic Bulge
Takahiro Sumi, Naoki koshimoto, David P. Bennett +25
We present the first measurement of the mass function of free-floating planets (FFP) or very wide orbit planets down to an Earth mass, from the MOA-II microlensing survey in 2006-2…
Terrestrial and Neptune mass free-floating planet candidates from the MOA-II 9-year Galactic Bulge survey
Naoki Koshimoto, Takahiro Sumi, David P. Bennett +28
We report the discoveries of low-mass free-floating planet (FFP) candidates from the analysis of 2006-2014 MOA-II Galactic bulge survey data. In this dataset, we found 6,111 microl…
KMT-2022-BLG-0440Lb: A New Microlensing Planet with the Central-Resonant Caustic Degeneracy Broken
Jiyuan Zhang, Weicheng Zang, Youn Kil Jung +57
We present the observations and analysis of a high-magnification microlensing planetary event, KMT-2022-BLG-0440, for which the weak and short-lived planetary signal was covered by…
