A Sub-Earth-Mass Moon Orbiting a Gas Giant Primary or a High Velocity Planetary System in the Galactic Bulge

D. P. Bennett, V. Batista, I. A. Bond +90

We present the first microlensing candidate for a free-floating exoplanet-exomoon system, MOA-2011-BLG-262, with a primary lens mass of M_host ~ 4 Jupiter masses hosting a sub-Eart…

MOA-2010-BLG-328Lb: a sub-Neptune orbiting very late M dwarf ?

K. Furusawa, A. Udalski, T. Sumi +119

We analyze the planetary microlensing event MOA-2010-BLG-328. The best fit yields host and planetary masses of Mh = 0.11+/-0.01 M_{sun} and Mp = 9.2+/-2.2M_Earth, corresponding to…

Interpretation of a Short-Term Anomaly in the Gravitational Microlensing Event MOA-2012-BLG-486

K. -H. Hwang, J. -Y. Choi, I. A. Bond +78

A planetary microlensing signal is generally characterized by a short-term perturbation to the standard single lensing light curve. A subset of binary-source events can produce per…

Gravitational Binary-lens Events with Prominent Effects of Lens Orbital Motion

H. Park, A. Udalski, C. Han +58

Gravitational microlensing events produced by lenses composed of binary masses are important because they provide a major channel to determine physical parameters of lenses. In thi…

Estimating the parameters of globular cluster M 30 (NGC 7099) from time-series photometry

N. Kains, D. M. Bramich, A. Arellano Ferro +47

We present the analysis of 26 nights of V and I time-series observations from 2011 and 2012 of the globular cluster M 30 (NGC 7099). We used our data to search for variable stars i…

EMCCD photometry reveals two new variable stars in the crowded central region of the globular cluster NGC 6981

Jesper Skottfelt, D. M. Bramich, R. Figuera Jaimes +33

Two previously unknown variable stars in the crowded central region of the globular cluster NGC 6981 are presented. The observations were made using the Electron Multiplying CCD (E…
