Using Source Proper Motion to Validate Terrestrial Parallax: OGLE-2019-BLG-1058
In-Gu Shin, Jennifer C. Yee, Kyu-Ha Hwang +30
We show that because the conditions for producing terrestrial microlens parallax (TPRX; i.e., a nearby disk lens) will also tend to produce a large lens-source relative proper moti…
Multiwavelength properties of Miras
Patryk Iwanek, Szymon Kozłowski, Mariusz Gromadzki +12
We comprehensively study the variability of Miras in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) by simultaneous analysing light curves in 14 bands in the range of 0.524 microns. We model…
Binarity as the Origin of Long Secondary Periods in Red Giant Stars
I. Soszyński, A. Olechowska, M. Ratajczak +13
Long secondary periods (LSPs), observed in a third of pulsating red giant stars, are the only unexplained type of large-amplitude stellar variability known at this time. Here we sh…
OGLE-GAL-ACEP-091 -- The First Known Multi-Mode Anomalous Cepheid
I. Soszyński, R. Smolec, A. Udalski +12
Anomalous Cepheids (ACs) are metal-deficient, core-helium-burning pulsating stars with masses in the range 1.2-2.2 M_S. Until recently, all known ACs were pure single-mode pulsator…

We report the discovery of a planet in the microlensing event OGLE-2018-BLG-1269, with planet-host mass ratio , i.e., times smaller than the Jupiter/Su…
Candidate Brown-dwarf Microlensing Events with Very Short Timescales and Small Angular Einstein Radii
Cheongho Han, Chung-Uk Lee, Andrzej Udalski +62
Short-timescale microlensing events are likely to be produced by substellar brown dwarfs (BDs), but it is difficult to securely identify BD lenses based on only event timescales $t…
