A free-floating-planet microlensing event caused by a Saturn-mass object

Subo Dong, Zexuan Wu, Yoon-Hyun Ryu +39

A population of free-floating planets is known from gravitational microlensing surveys. None have a directly measured mass, owing to a degeneracy with the distance, but the populat…

Microlensing optical depth, event rate, and limits on compact objects in dark matter based on 20 yr of OGLE observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud

P. Mróz, A. Udalski, M. K. Szymański +12

Some previous studies have suggested that massive and intermediate-mass primordial black holes (PBHs) could comprise a substantial fraction of dark matter in the Universe. Such bla…

The Ultimate I-band Calibration of the TRGB Standard Candle

A. Udalski, D. M. Skowron, J. Skowron +13

We present the ultimate I-band calibration of the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) standard candle. Our calibration is based on photometry from the outer parts of the Large Magel…

Constraining Lens Masses in Moderately to Highly Magnified Microlensing Events from Gaia

U. Pylypenko, Ł. Wyrzykowski, P. J. Mikołajczyk +57

Microlensing events provide a unique way to detect and measure the masses of isolated, non-luminous objects, particularly dark stellar remnants. Under certain conditions, it is pos…

An Extremely Hot Pulsating Pre-White Dwarf from OGLE

P. Pietrukowicz, K. Werner, M. J. Mroz +1

We show that the blue 18.3-minute variable object discovered in the Galactic disk by the OGLE-III survey and named OGLE-GD-WD-0001 is a pulsating pre-white dwarf of PG 1159 spectra…
