Optical Properties of (162173) 1999 JU3: In Preparation for the JAXA Hayabusa 2 Sample Return Mission

Masateru Ishiguro, Daisuke Kuroda, Sunao Hasegawa +31

We investigated the magnitude-phase relation of (162173) 1999 JU3, a target asteroid for the JAXA Hayabusa 2 sample return mission. We initially employed the international Astronom…

OGLE-2008-BLG-355Lb: A Massive Planet around A Late type Star

N. Koshimoto, A. Udalski, T. Sumi +32

We report the discovery of a massive planet OGLE-2008-BLG-355Lb. The light curve analysis indicates a planet:host mass ratio of q = 0.0118 +/- 0.0006 at a separation of 0.877 +/- 0…

MOA-2008-BLG-379Lb: A Massive Planet from a High Magnification Event with a Faint Source

D. Suzuki, A. Udalski, T. Sumi +31

We report analysis of high microlensing event MOA-2008-BLG-379, which has a strong microlensing anomaly at its peak, due to a massive planet with a mass ratio of q = 6.9 x 10^{-3}.…

MOA-2010-BLG-328Lb: a sub-Neptune orbiting very late M dwarf ?

K. Furusawa, A. Udalski, T. Sumi +119

We analyze the planetary microlensing event MOA-2010-BLG-328. The best fit yields host and planetary masses of Mh = 0.11+/-0.01 M_{sun} and Mp = 9.2+/-2.2M_Earth, corresponding to…

Microlensing Discovery of a Tight, Low Mass-ratio Planetary-mass Object around an Old, Field Brown Dwarf

C. Han, Y. K. Jung, A. Udalski +67

Observations of accretion disks around young brown dwarfs have led to the speculation that they may form planetary systems similar to normal stars. While there have been several de…

The Microlensing Event Rate and Optical Depth Toward the Galactic Bulge from MOA-II

T. Sumi, D. P. Bennett, I. A. Bond +19

We present measurements of the microlensing optical depth and event rate toward the Galactic Bulge based on two years of the MOA-II survey. This sample contains ~1000 microlensing…
