Two Jupiter-Mass Planets Discovered by the KMTNet Survey in 2017
I. -G. Shin, Y. -H. Ryu, J. C. Yee +17
We report two microlensing events, KMT-2017-BLG-1038 and KMT-2017-BLG-1146 that are caused by planetary systems. These events were discovered by KMTNet survey observations from the…
Two new free-floating or wide-orbit planets from microlensing
P. Mroz, A. Udalski, D. P. Bennett +57
Planet formation theories predict the existence of free-floating planets that have been ejected from their parent systems. Although they emit little or no light, they can be detect…
Kmt-2016-blg-1397b: Kmtnet-only discovery of a microlens giant planet
Weicheng Zang, Kyu-Ha Hwang, Hyoun-Woo Kim +20
We report the discovery of a giant planet in the KMT-2016-BLG-1397 microlensing event, which was found by The Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) alone. The time scale of…
New Photometric Pipeline to Explore Temporal and Spatial Variability with KMTNet DEEP-South Observations
Seo-Won Chang, Yong-Ik Byun, Min-Su Shin +6
The DEEP-South photometric census of small Solar System bodies produces massive time-series data of variable, transient or moving objects as a by-product. To fully investigate unex…
KMTNet Nearby Galaxy Survey I. : Optimal strategy for low surface brightness imaging with KMTNet
Woowon Byun, Yun-Kyeong Sheen, Luis C. Ho +8
In hierarchical galaxy formation models, galaxies evolve through mergers and accretions. Tidally-disrupted debris from these processes can remain as diffuse, faint structures, whic…
OGLE-2015-BLG-1670Lb: A Cold Neptune beyond the Snow Line in the Provisional WFIRST Microlensing Survey Field
Clément Ranc, David P. Bennett, Yuki Hirao +56
We present the analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-1670, detected in a high-extinction field, very close to the Galactic plane. Due to the dust extinction along the li…
