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…
Extending the Planetary Mass Function to Earth Mass by Microlensing at Moderately High Magnification
Fumio Abe, Charlotte Airey, Ellen Barnard +10
A measurement by microlensing of the planetary mass function of planets with masses ranging from 5M_E to 10M_J and orbital radii from 0.5 to 10 AU was reported recently. A strategy…
OGLE-2008-BLG-510: first automated real-time detection of a weak microlensing anomaly - brown dwarf or stellar binary?
V. Bozza, M. Dominik, N. J. Rattenbury +103
The microlensing event OGLE-2008-BLG-510 is characterised by an evident asymmetric shape of the peak, promptly detected by the ARTEMiS system in real time. The skewness of the ligh…
Discovery and Mass Measurements of a Cold, 10-Earth Mass Planet and Its Host Star
Y. Muraki, C. Han, D. P. Bennett +125
We present the discovery and mass measurement of the cold, low-mass planet MOA-2009-BLG-266Lb, made with the gravitational microlensing method. This planet has a mass of m_p = 10.4…
Unbound or Distant Planetary Mass Population Detected by Gravitational Microlensing
T. Sumi, K. Kamiya, A. Udalski +36
Since 1995, more than 500 exoplanets have been detected using different techniques, of which 11 were detected with gravitational microlensing. Most of these are gravitationally bou…
MOA-2009-BLG-387Lb: A massive planet orbiting an M dwarf
Virginie Batista, A. Gould, S. Dieters +25
We report the discovery of a planet with a high planet-to-star mass ratio in the microlensing event MOA-2009-BLG-387, which exhibited pronounced deviations over a 12-day interval,…
A sub-Saturn Mass Planet, MOA-2009-BLG-319Lb
N. Miyake, T. Sumi, Subo Dong +119
We report the gravitational microlensing discovery of a sub-Saturn mass planet, MOA-2009-BLG-319Lb, orbiting a K or M-dwarf star in the inner Galactic disk or Galactic bulge. The h…
Measurements of Transit Timing Variations for WASP-5b
Akihiko Fukui, Norio Narita, Paul J. Tristram +34
We have observed 7 new transits of the `hot Jupiter' WASP-5b using a 61 cm telescope located in New Zealand, in order to search for transit timing variations (TTVs) which can be in…
A Cold Neptune-Mass Planet OGLE-2007-BLG-368Lb: Cold Neptunes Are Common
T. Sumi, D. P. Bennett, I. A. Bond +104
We present the discovery of a Neptune-mass planet OGLE-2007-BLG-368Lb with a planet-star mass ratio of q=[9.5 +/- 2.1] x 10^{-5} via gravitational microlensing. The planetary devia…
Interpretation of Strong Short-Term Central Perturbations in the Light Curves of Moderate-Magnification Microlensing Events
C. Han, K. -H. Hwang, D. Kim +87
To improve the planet detection efficiency, current planetary microlensing experiments are focused on high-magnification events searching for planetary signals near the peak of len…
Masses and Orbital Constraints for the OGLE-2006-BLG-109Lb,c Jupiter/Saturn Analog Planetary System
D. P. Bennett, S. H. Rhie, S. Nikolaev +70
We present a new analysis of the Jupiter+Saturn analog system, OGLE-2006-BLG-109Lb,c, which was the first double planet system discovered with the gravitational microlensing method…
Mass measurement of a single unseen star and planetary detection efficiency for OGLE 2007-BLG-050
V. Batista, Subo Dong, A. Gould +93
We analyze OGLE-2007-BLG-050, a high magnification microlensing event (A ~ 432) whose peak occurred on 2 May, 2007, with pronounced finite-source and parallax effects. We compute p…
