PoET: the Paranal solar ESPRESSO Telescope

Nuno C. Santos, Alexandre Cabral, Inês Leite +42

The detection and characterisation of other "Earths", orbiting other suns, is a bold objective of present-day astrophysics. However, this quest is severely challenged by astrophysi…

Optical-to-NIR magnitude measurements of the Starlink LEO Darksat satellite and effectiveness of the darkening treatment

J. Tregloan-Reed, A. Otarola, E. Unda-Sanzana +11

Four observations of Starlink's LEO communication satellites, Darksat and STARLINK-1113, were conducted on two nights with two telescopes. The Chakana 0.6\,m telescope at the Ckoir…

The First Planetary Microlensing Event with Two Microlensed Source Stars

D. P. Bennett, A. Udalski, C. Han +64

We present the analysis of microlensing event MOA-2010-BLG-117, and show that the light curve can only be explained by the gravitational lensing of a binary source star system by a…

The structure of Chariklo's rings from stellar occultations

D. Bérard, B. Sicardy, J. I. B. Camargo +79

Two narrow and dense rings (called C1R and C2R) were discovered around the Centaur object (10199) Chariklo during a stellar occultation observed on 2013 June 3. Following this disc…

The First Circumbinary Planet Found by Microlensing: OGLE-2007-BLG-349L(AB)c

D. P. Bennett, S. H. Rhie, A. Udalski +79

We present the analysis of the first circumbinary planet microlensing event, OGLE-2007-BLG-349. This event has a strong planetary signal that is best fit with a mass ratio of $q \a…

Revisiting the microlensing event OGLE 2012-BLG-0026: A solar mass star with two cold giant planets

J. P. Beaulieu, D. P. Bennett, V. Batista +15

Two cold, gas giant planets orbiting a G-type main sequence star in the galactic disk have previously been discovered in the high magnification microlensing event OGLE-2012-BLG-002…
