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…

Historic microlensing events in the euclid Galactic Bulge Survey
V. Bozza, L. Salmeri, P. Rota +47
Microlensing campaigns have a long history of observations covering the Galactic bulge, where thousands of detections have been obtained, including many exoplanetary systems. The E…
Six binary brown dwarf candidates identified by microlensing
Cheongho Han, Chung-Uk Lee, Ian A. Bond +57
In this study, we analyze microlensing events from the 2023 and 2024 observing seasons to identify cases likely caused by binary systems composed of BDs. By applying criteria that…
Doubling the Number of Blue Large-Amplitude Pulsators: Final Results of Searches for BLAPs in the OGLE Inner Galactic Bulge Fields
J. Borowicz, P. Pietrukowicz, J. Skowron +13
Blue Large-Amplitude Pulsators (BLAPs) are rare short-period (80 min) pulsating variable stars exhibiting large-amplitude brightness variations (typically between 0.1 and…
A Comprehensive Analysis of Three Microlensing Planet Candidates with the Planet/Binary Degeneracy
Jiyuan Zhang, Weicheng Zang, Yoon-Hyun Ryu +65
We present observations and analyses of three high-magnification microlensing events: KMT-2022-BLG-0954, KMT-2024-BLG-0697, and MOA-2024-BLG-018. All three exhibit the "Planet/Bina…
Three binary-source binary-lens microlensing events from the 2024 microlensing campaign
Cheongho Han, Chung-Uk Lee, Andrzej Udalski +27
We investigated microlensing events detected by the OGLE and KMTNet surveys during the 2024 observing season, focusing on those that exhibit very complex anomaly features. Through…
Six microlensing planets detected via sub-day signals during the 2023 -- 2024 season
Cheongho Han, Chung-Uk Lee, Andrzej Udalski +58
We present analyses of six microlensing events: KMT-2023-BLG-0548, KMT-2023-BLG-0830, KMT-2023-BLG-0949, KMT-2024-BLG-1281, KMT-2024-BLG-2059, and KMT-2024-BLG-2242. These were ide…
Four binary microlenses with directly measured masses
Cheongho Han, Andrzej Udalski, Chung-Uk Lee +58
We investigated binary lens events from the 2022-2024 microlensing surveys, aiming to identify events suitable for lens mass measurements. We focused on two key light curve feature…
Microlensing optical depth, event rate, and limits on compact objects in dark matter based on 20 yr of OGLE observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud
P. Mróz, A. Udalski, M. K. Szymański +12
Some previous studies have suggested that massive and intermediate-mass primordial black holes (PBHs) could comprise a substantial fraction of dark matter in the Universe. Such bla…
HST pre-imaging of a free-floating planet candidate microlensing event
Mateusz Kapusta, Przemek Mroz, Yoon-Hyun Ryu +33
High-cadence microlensing observations uncovered a population of very short-timescale microlensing events, which are believed to be caused by the population of free-floating planet…
The Ultimate I-band Calibration of the TRGB Standard Candle
A. Udalski, D. M. Skowron, J. Skowron +13
We present the ultimate I-band calibration of the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) standard candle. Our calibration is based on photometry from the outer parts of the Large Magel…
MOA-2022-BLG-091Lb and KMT-2024-BLG-1209Lb: Microlensing planets detected through weak caustic-crossing signals
Cheongho Han, Chung-Uk Lee, Andrzej Udalski +66
The light curves of the microlensing events MOA-2022-BLG-091 and KMT-2024-BLG-1209 exhibit anomalies with very similar features. These anomalies appear near the peaks of the light…

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…
