The Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment. The OGLE-III Catalog of Variable Stars. XIV. Classical and Type II Cepheids in the Galactic Bulge
I. Soszynski, A. Udalski, P. Pietrukowicz +7
The fourteenth part of the OGLE-III Catalog of Variable Stars (OIII-CVS) contains Cepheid variables detected in the OGLE-II and OGLE-III fields toward the Galactic bulge. The catal…
First detection of period doubling in a BL Herculis type star. Observations and theoretical models
R. Smolec, I. Soszynski, P. Moskalik +9
We report on the discovery of the first BL Herculis star displaying period-doubling behaviour as predicted by the hydrodynamic models of Buchler & Moskalik. The star, with P=2.4d,…
Characterizing Lenses and Lensed Stars of High-Magnification Single-lens Gravitational Microlensing Events With Lenses Passing Over Source Stars
J. -Y. Choi, I. -G. Shin, S. -Y. Park +148
We present the analysis of the light curves of 9 high-magnification single-lens gravitational microlensing events with lenses passing over source stars, including OGLE-2004-BLG-254…
The Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment. High Proper Motion Stars in the OGLE-III Data for Magellanic Clouds Fields
R. Poleski, I. Soszynski, A. Udalski +5
We present the results of a search for High Proper Motion (HPM) stars, i.e. the ones with μ> 100 mas/yr, in the direction to the Magellanic Clouds. This sky area was not examined i…
Discovery of period doubling in BL Herculis stars of the OGLE survey. Observations and theoretical models
R. Smolec, I. Soszynski, P. Moskalik +9
We report the discovery of a period doubling behaviour in a 2.4d BL Herculis-type variable of the Galactic bulge. Another bulge BL Her-type star (P=2.25d) is a strong period doubli…
Microlensing Binaries Discovered through High-Magnification Channel
I. -G. Shin, J. -Y. Choi, S. -Y. Park +148
Microlensing can provide a useful tool to probe binary distributions down to low-mass limits of binary companions. In this paper, we analyze the light curves of 8 binary lensing ev…
A Southern Sky and Galactic Plane Survey for Bright Kuiper Belt Objects
Scott Sheppard, Andrzej Udalski, Chad Trujillo +6
About 2500 square degrees of sky south of declination -25 degrees and/or near the galactic plane were surveyed for bright outer solar system objects. This survey is one of the firs…
The Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment: Analysis of the bulge RR Lyrae population from the OGLE-III data
P. Pietrukowicz, A. Udalski, I. Soszynski +8
We have analyzed the data on 16,836 RR Lyrae (RR Lyr) variables observed toward the Galactic bulge during the third phase of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE-III)…
The OGLE View of Microlensing towards the Magellanic Clouds. IV. OGLE-III SMC Data and Final Conclusions on MACHOs
L. Wyrzykowski, J. Skowron, S. Kozlowski +9
In this fourth part of the series presenting the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) microlensing studies of the dark matter halo compact objects (MACHOs) we describe r…
Discovery and Mass Measurements of a Cold, 10-Earth Mass Planet and Its Host Star
Y. Muraki, C. Han, D. P. Bennett +125
We present the discovery and mass measurement of the cold, low-mass planet MOA-2009-BLG-266Lb, made with the gravitational microlensing method. This planet has a mass of m_p = 10.4…
The Magellanic Quasars Survey. II. Confirmation of 144 New Active Galactic Nuclei Behind the Southern Edge of the Large Magellanic Cloud
Szymon Kozlowski, C. S. Kochanek, A. M. Jacyszyn +9
We quadruple the number of quasars known behind the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) from 55 (42 in the LMC fields of the third phase of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (O…
Unbound or Distant Planetary Mass Population Detected by Gravitational Microlensing
T. Sumi, K. Kamiya, A. Udalski +36
Since 1995, more than 500 exoplanets have been detected using different techniques, of which 11 were detected with gravitational microlensing. Most of these are gravitationally bou…
OGLE-2005-BLG-018: Characterization of Full Physical and Orbital Parameters of a Gravitational Binary Lens
I. -G. Shin, A. Udalski, C. Han +55
We present the analysis result of a gravitational binary-lensing event OGLE-2005-BLG-018. The light curve of the event is characterized by 2 adjacent strong features and a single w…
