An Orbit for a Massive Wolf-Rayet Binary in the LMC: An Example of Binary Evolution
Breelyn Cocke, Philip Massey, Nidia I. Morrell +6

We initiate the systematic search for planets in the 2023 data of the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet), focusing on those planets found by the KMTNet AnomalyFinder wit…
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…
HST pre-imaging of a free-floating planet candidate microlensing event
Mateusz Kapusta, Przemek Mroz, Yoon-Hyun Ryu +33

Interferometric observations of gravitational microlensing events offer an opportunity for precise, efficient, and direct mass and distance measurements of lensing objects, especia…
Observational Parameters of Blue Large-amplitude Pulsators
P. Pietrukowicz, M. Latour, I. Soszynski +15
Blue large-amplitude pulsators (BLAPs) are a recently discovered class of short-period pulsating variable stars. In this work, we present new information on these stars based on ph…

Zhecheng Hu, Wei Zhu, Andrew Gould +51
We present the analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-0845, which was affected by both the microlensing parallax and xallarap effects. The former was detected via the sim…
Microlensing optical depth and event rate toward the Large Magellanic Cloud based on 20 years of OGLE observations
P. Mroz, A. Udalski, M. K. Szymanski +14
Measurements of the microlensing optical depth and event rate toward the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) can be used to probe the distribution and mass function of compact objects in…
No massive black holes in the Milky Way halo
P. Mroz, A. Udalski, M. K. Szymanski +13
The gravitational wave detectors have unveiled a population of massive black holes that do not resemble those observed in the Milky Way and whose origin is debated. According to on…
KMT-2023-BLG-1431Lb: A New Microlensing Planet from a Subtle Signature
Aislyn Bell, Jiyuan Zhang, Youn Kil Jung +70
The current studies of microlensing planets are limited by small number statistics. Follow-up observations of high-magnification microlensing events can efficiently form a statisti…
