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…

Microlensing Discovery of a Population of Very Tight, Very Low-mass Binary Brown Dwarfs

J. -Y. Choi, C. Han, A. Udalski +121

Although many models have been proposed, the physical mechanisms responsible for the formation of low-mass brown dwarfs are poorly understood. The multiplicity properties and minim…

A Giant Planet beyond the Snow Line in Microlensing Event OGLE-2011-BLG-0251

N. Kains, R. Street, J. -Y. Choi +128

We present the analysis of the gravitational microlensing event OGLE-2011-BLG-0251. This anomalous event was observed by several survey and follow-up collaborations conducting micr…
