Microlensing Observations Rapid Search for Exoplanets: MORSE code for GPUs

Alistair McDougall, Michael D. Albrow

The rapid analysis of ongoing gravitational microlensing events has been integral to the successful detection and characterisation of cool planets orbiting low mass stars in the Ga…

Red noise versus planetary interpretations in the microlensing event OGLE-2013-BLG-446

E. Bachelet, D. M. Bramich, C. Han +98

For all exoplanet candidates, the reliability of a claimed detection needs to be assessed through a careful study of systematic errors in the data to minimize the false positives r…

Mass Measurements of Isolated Objects from Space-based Microlensing

Wei Zhu, S. Calchi Novati, A. Gould +78

We report on the mass and distance measurements of two single-lens events from the 2015 \emph{Spitzer} microlensing campaign. With both finite-source effect and microlens parallax…

KMT-2015-1b: a Giant Planet Orbiting a Low-mass Dwarf Host Star Discovered by a New High-cadence Microlensing Survey with a Global Telescope Network

K. -H. Hwang, C. Han, J. -Y. Choi +12

We report the discovery of an extrasolar planet, KMT-2015-1b, that was detected using the microlensing technique. The planetary lensing event was observed by KMTNet survey that has…

MOA-2007-BLG-197: Exploring the brown dwarf desert

C. Ranc, A. Cassan, M. D. Albrow +48

We present the analysis of MOA-2007-BLG-197Lb, the first brown dwarf companion to a Sun-like star detected through gravitational microlensing. The event was alerted and followed-up…
