First assessment of the binary lens OGLE-2015_BLG-0232

E. Bachelet, V. Bozza, C. Han +51

We present an analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-0232. This event is challenging to characterize for two reasons. First, the light curve is not well sampled during th…

OGLE-2014-BLG-0289: Precise Characterization of a Quintuple-Peak Gravitational Microlensing Event

A. Udalski, C. Han, V. Bozza +63

We present the analysis of the binary-microlensing event OGLE-2014-BLG-0289. The event light curve exhibits very unusual five peaks where four peaks were produced by caustic crossi…
