OGLE-2015-BLG-1609Lb: Sub-jovian planet orbiting a low-mass stellar or brown dwarf host

M. J. Mróz, R. Poleski, A. Udalski +70

We present a comprehensive analysis of a planetary microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-1609. The planetary anomaly was detected by two survey telescopes, OGLE and MOA. Each of these s…

The OGLE Collection of Variable Stars: Over 18 000 Rotating Variables toward the Galactic Bulge

P. Iwanek, I. Soszyński, K. Stępień +14

Stellar rotation, a key factor influencing stellar structure and evolution, also drives magnetic activity, which is manifested as spots or flares on stellar surface. Here, we prese…
