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…
KMT-2021-BLG-0171Lb and KMT-2021-BLG-1689Lb: Two Microlensing Planets in the KMTNet High-cadence Fields with Followup Observations
Hongjing Yang, Weicheng Zang, Andrew Gould +56
Follow-up observations of high-magnification gravitational microlensing events can fully exploit their intrinsic sensitivity to detect extrasolar planets, especially those with sma…
KMT-2021-BLG-0322: Severe degeneracy between triple-lens and higher-order binary-lens interpretations
Cheongho Han, Andrew Gould, Yuki Hirao +46
We investigate the microlensing event KMT-2021-BLG-0322, for which the light curve exhibits three distinctive sets of caustic-crossing features. It is found that the overall featur…
New Giant Planet beyond the Snow Line for an Extended MOA Exoplanet Microlens Sample
Clément Ranc, David P. Bennett, Richard K. Barry +28
Characterizing a planet detected by microlensing is hard if the planetary signal is weak or the lens-source relative trajectory is far from caustics. However, statistical analyses…
Systematic KMTNet Planetary Anomaly Search, Paper II: Six New Mass-ratio Planets
Kyu-Ha Hwang, Weicheng Zang, Andrew Gould +62
We apply the automated AnomalyFinder algorithm of Paper I (Zang et al. 2021b) to 2018-2019 light curves from the covered by the six KMTNet prime fields, wi…
OGLE-2018-BLG-1185b : A Low-Mass Microlensing Planet Orbiting a Low-Mass Dwarf
Iona Kondo, Jennifer C. Yee, David P. Bennett +94
We report the analysis of planetary microlensing event OGLE-2018-BLG-1185, which was observed by a large number of ground-based telescopes and by the Space Telescope. The…
KMT-2019-BLG-1715: planetary microlensing event with three lens masses and two source stars
Cheongho Han, Andrzej Udalski, Doeone Kim +61
We investigate the gravitational microlensing event KMT-2019-BLG-1715, of which light curve shows two short-term anomalies from a caustic-crossing binary-lensing light curve: one w…
Systematic KMTNet Planetary Anomaly Search, Paper I: OGLE-2019-BLG-1053Lb, A Buried Terrestrial Planet
Weicheng Zang, Kyu-Ha Hwang, Andrzej Udalski +69
In order to exhume the buried signatures of "missing planetary caustics" in the KMTNet data, we conducted a systematic anomaly search to the residuals from point-source point-lens…
KMT-2019-BLG-0371 and the Limits of Bayesian Analysis
Yun Hak Kim, Sun-Ju Chung, Jennifer C. Yee +54
We show that the perturbation at the peak of the light curve of microlensing event KMT-2019-BLG-0371 is explained by a model with a mass ratio between the host star and planet of $…
OGLE-2019-BLG-0960Lb: The Smallest Microlensing Planet
Jennifer C. Yee, Weicheng Zang, Andrzej Udalski +80
We report the analysis of OGLE-2019-BLG-0960, which contains the smallest mass-ratio microlensing planet found to date (q = 1.2--1.6 x 10^{-5} at 1-sigma). Although there is substa…
OGLE-2017-BLG-1049: Another giant planet microlensing event
Yun Hak Kim, Sun-Ju Chung, A. Udalski +55
We report a giant exoplanet discovery in the microlensing event OGLE-2017-BLG-1049, which is a planet-host star mass ratio of and has a caustic crossin…
OGLE-2018-BLG-0799Lb: a Planet with Spitzer Parallax
Weicheng Zang, Yossi Shvartzvald, Andrzej Udalski +73
We report the discovery and analysis of a planet in the microlensing event OGLE-2018-BLG-0799. The planetary signal was observed by several ground-based telescopes, and the planet-…
A Gas Giant Planet in the OGLE-2006-BLG-284L Stellar Binary System
David P. Bennett, Andrzej Udalski, Ian A. Bond +32
We present the analysis of microlensing event OGLE-2006-BLG-284, which has a lens system that consists of two stars and a gas giant planet with a mass ratio of $q_p = (1.26\pm 0.19…
One Planet or Two Planets? The Ultra-sensitive Extreme-magnification Microlensing Event KMT-2019-BLG-1953
Cheongho Han, Doeon Kim, Youn Kil Jung +48
We present the analysis of a very high-magnification () microlensing event KMT-2019-BLG-1953. A single-lens single-source (1L1S) model appears to approximately delineate…

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…
