MOA-2010-BLG-073L: An M-Dwarf with a Substellar Companion at the Planet/Brown Dwarf Boundary
R. A. Street, J. -Y. Choi, Y. Tsapras +129
We present an analysis of the anomalous microlensing event, MOA-2010-BLG-073, announced by the Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics survey on 2010-03-18. This event was remark…
MOA-2010-BLG-523: "Failed Planet" = RS CVn Star
A. Gould, J. C. Yee, I. A. Bond +116
The Galactic bulge source MOA-2010-BLG-523S exhibited short-term deviations from a standard microlensing lightcurve near the peak of an Amax ~ 265 high-magnification microlensing e…
Photometric Maps Based on the OGLE-III Shallow Survey in the Large Magellanic Cloud
K. Ulaczyk, M. K. Szymanski, A. Udalski +8
We present photometric maps based on data from the shallow survey in the Large Magellanic Cloud performed as the supplementary project during the third phase of the Optical Gravita…
MOA-2010-BLG-311: A planetary candidate below the threshold of reliable detection
J. C. Yee, L. -W. Hung, I. A. Bond +123
We analyze MOA-2010-BLG-311, a high magnification (A_max>600) microlensing event with complete data coverage over the peak, making it very sensitive to planetary signals. We fit th…
Using Orbital Effects to Break the Close/wide Degeneracy in Binary-lens Microlensing Events
I. -G. Shin, T. Sumi, A. Udalski +37
Microlensing can provide an important tool to study binaries, especially those composed of faint or dark objects. However, accurate analysis of binary-lens light curves is often ha…
The second multiple-planet system discovered by microlensing: OGLE-2012-BLG-0026Lb, c, a pair of jovian planets beyond the snow line
C. Han, A. Udalski, J. -Y. Choi +33
We report the discovery of a planetary system from observation of the high-magnification microlensing event OGLE-2012-BLG-0026. The lensing light curve exhibits a complex central p…
Microlensig Binaries with Candidate Brown Dwarf Companions
I. -G. Shin, C. Han, A. Gould +152
Brown dwarfs are important objects because they may provide a missing link between stars and planets, two populations that have dramatically different formation history. In this pa…
Reddening and Extinction Toward the Galactic Bulge from OGLE-III: The Inner Milky Way's Rv ~ 2.5 Extinction Curve
David M. Nataf, Andrew Gould, Pascal Fouqué +11
We combine VI photometry from OGLE-III with VVV and 2MASS measurements of E(J-K_{s}) to resolve the longstanding problem of the non-standard optical extinction toward the Galactic…
A possible binary system of a stellar remnant in the high magnification gravitational microlensing event OGLE-2007-BLG-514
N. Miyake, A. Udalski, T. Sumi +78
We report the extremely high magnification (A > 1000) binary microlensing event OGLE-2007-BLG-514. We obtained good coverage around the double peak structure in the light curve via…
MOA-2010-BLG-477Lb: constraining the mass of a microlensing planet from microlensing parallax, orbital motion and detection of blended light
E. Bachelet, I. -G. Shin, C. Han +138
Microlensing detections of cool planets are important for the construction of an unbiased sample to estimate the frequency of planets beyond the snow line, which is where giant pla…
A New Type of Ambiguity in the Planet and Binary Interpretations of Central Perturbations of High-Magnification Gravitational Microlensing Events
J. -Y. Choi, I. -G. Shin, C. Han +118
High-magnification microlensing events provide an important channel to detect planets. Perturbations near the peak of a high-magnification event can be produced either by a planet…
The Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment. The Catalog of Stellar Proper Motions toward the Magellanic Clouds
R. Poleski, I. Soszyński, A. Udalski +5
We present a catalog of over 6.2 million stars with measured proper motions. All these stars are observed in the direction of the Magellanic Clouds within the brightness range 12 <…
Characterizing Low-Mass Binaries From Observation of Long Time-scale Caustic-crossing Gravitational Microlensing Events
I. -G. Shin, C. Han, J. -Y. Choi +119
Despite astrophysical importance of binary star systems, detections are limited to those located in small ranges of separations, distances, and masses and thus it is necessary to u…
OGLE-2008-BLG-510: first automated real-time detection of a weak microlensing anomaly - brown dwarf or stellar binary?
V. Bozza, M. Dominik, N. J. Rattenbury +103
The microlensing event OGLE-2008-BLG-510 is characterised by an evident asymmetric shape of the peak, promptly detected by the ARTEMiS system in real time. The skewness of the ligh…
One or more bound planets per Milky Way star from microlensing observations
A. Cassan, D. Kubas, J. -P. Beaulieu +39
Most known extrasolar planets (exoplanets) have been discovered using the radial velocity or transit methods. Both are biased towards planets that are relativ…
MOA-2011-BLG-293Lb: A test of pure survey microlensing planet detections
J. C. Yee, Y. Shvartzvald, A. Gal-Yam +10
Because of the development of large-format, wide-field cameras, microlensing surveys are now able to monitor millions of stars with sufficient cadence to detect planets. These new…
