OGLE-2013-BLG-0911Lb: A Secondary on the Brown-Dwarf Planet Boundary around an M-dwarf
Shota Miyazaki, Takahiro Sumi, David P. Bennett +92
We present the analysis of the binary-lens microlensing event OGLE-2013-BLG-0911. The best-fit solutions indicate the binary mass ratio of q~0.03 which differs from that reported i…
Kojima-1Lb Is a Mildly Cold Neptune around the Brightest Microlensing Host Star
A. Fukui, D. Suzuki, N. Koshimoto +56
We report the analysis of additional multiband photometry and spectroscopy and new adaptive optics (AO) imaging of the nearby planetary microlensing event TCP J05074264+2447555 (Ko…
ROME/REA: A gravitational microlensing search for exo-planets beyond the snow-line on a global network of robotic telescopes
Yiannis Tsapras, R. A. Street, M. Hundertmark +10
Planet population synthesis models predict an abundance of planets with semi-major axes between 1-10 au, yet they lie at the edge of the detection limits of most planet finding tec…
OGLE-2018-BLG-1011L\lowercase{b,c}: Microlensing Planetary System with Two Giant Planets Orbiting a Low-mass Star
Cheongho Han, David P. Bennett, Andrzej Udalski +70
We report a multiplanetary system found from the analysis of microlensing event OGLE-2018-BLG-1011, for which the light curve exhibits a double-bump anomaly around the peak. We fin…
OGLE-2015-BLG-1649Lb: A gas giant planet around a low-mass dwarf
Masayuki Nagakane, Chien-Hsiu Lee, Naoki Koshimoto +66
We report the discovery of an exoplanet in microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-1649. The planet/host-star mass ratio is and the projected separation normalized…
Transit timing variations in the WASP-4 planetary system
John Southworth, M. Dominik, U. G. Jorgensen +25
Transits in the planetary system WASP-4 were recently found to occur 80s earlier than expected in observations from the TESS satellite. We present 22 new times of mid-transit that…
An analysis of binary microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-0060
Y. Tsapras, A. Cassan, C. Ranc +83
We present the analysis of stellar binary microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-0060 based on observations obtained from 13 different telescopes. Intensive coverage of the anomalous par…
MOA-bin-29b : A Microlensing Gas Giant Planet Orbiting a Low-mass Host Star
Iona Kondo, Takahiro Sumi, David P. Bennett +32
We report the discovery of a gas giant planet orbiting a low-mass host star in the microlensing event MOA-bin-29 that occurred in 2006. We find five degenerate solutions with the p…
Spectroscopic Mass and Host-star Metallicity Measurements for Newly Discovered Microlensing Planet OGLE-2018-BLG-0740Lb
Cheongho Han, Jennifer C. Yee, Andrzej Udalski +63
We report the discovery of the microlensing planet OGLE-2018-BLG-0740Lb. The planet is detected with a very strong signal of , but the interpretation of the signal s…
OGLE-2018-BLG-0022: A Nearby M-dwarf Binary
R. A. Street, E. Bachelet, Y. Tsapras +28
We report observations of the binary microlensing event OGLE-2018-BLG-0022, provided by the ROME/REA Survey, which indicate that the lens is a low-mass binary star consisting of M3…
The Scientific Context of WFIRST Microlensing in the 2020s
Jennifer Yee, Rachel Akeson, Jay Anderson +23
[abridged] WFIRST is uniquely capable of finding planets with masses as small as Mars at separations comparable to Jupiter, i.e., beyond the current ice lines of their stars. These…
Wide-Orbit Exoplanet Demographics
David P. Bennett, Rachel Akeson, Yann Alibert +41
The Kepler, K2 and TESS transit surveys are revolutionizing our understanding of planets orbiting close to their host stars and our understanding of exoplanet systems in general, b…
Masses and Distances of Planetary Microlens Systems with High Angular Resolution Imaging
Aparna Bhattacharya, Rachel Akeson, Jay Anderson +33
Microlensing is the only method that can detect and measure mass of wide orbit, low mass, solar system analog exoplanets. Mass measurements of such planets would yield massive scie…
Measurement of the Free-Floating Planet Mass Function with Simultaneous Euclid and WFIRST Microlensing Parallax Observations
Matthew T. Penny, Etienne Bachelet, Samson Johnson +17
Free-floating planets are the remnants of violent dynamical rearrangements of planetary systems. It is possible that even our own solar system ejected a large planet early in its e…
Physical properties and transmission spectrum of the WASP-74 planetary system from multi-band photometry
L. Mancini, J. Southworth, P. Molliere +32
We present broad-band photometry of eleven planetary transits of the hot Jupiter WASP-74b, using three medium-class telescopes and employing the telescope-defocussing technique. Mo…
