The microlensing rate and distribution of free-floating planets towards the Galactic bulge
M. Ban, E. Kerins, A. C. Robin
Ground-based optical microlensing surveys have provided tantalising, if inconclusive, evidence for a significant population of free-floating planets (FFPs). Both ground and space-b…
Close encounters involving RAVE stars beyond the 47 Tucanae tidal radius
J. G. Fernández-Trincado, A. C. Robin, C. Reylé +5
The most accurate 6D phase-space information from the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) was used to integrate the orbits of 105 stars around the galactic globular cluster 47 Tucana…
Quasi integral of motion for axisymmetric potentials
O. Bienaymé, A. C. Robin, B. Famaey
We present an estimate of the third integral of motion for axisymmetric three-dimensional potentials. This estimate is based on a Staeckel approximation and is explicitly written a…
A Sub-Earth-Mass Moon Orbiting a Gas Giant Primary or a High Velocity Planetary System in the Galactic Bulge
D. P. Bennett, V. Batista, I. A. Bond +90
We present the first microlensing candidate for a free-floating exoplanet-exomoon system, MOA-2011-BLG-262, with a primary lens mass of M_host ~ 4 Jupiter masses hosting a sub-Eart…
CFBDS J111807-064016: A new L/T transition brown dwarf in a binary system
C. Reylé, P. Delorme, É. Artigau +7
Stellar-substellar binary systems are quite rare, and provide interesting benchmarks. They constrain the complex physics of substellar atmospheres, because several physical paramet…
ExELS: an exoplanet legacy science proposal for the ESA Euclid mission I. Cold exoplanets
M. T. Penny, E. Kerins, N. Rattenbury +11
Euclid is the second M-class mission of the ESA Cosmic Vision programme, with the principal science goal of studying dark energy. Euclid is also expected to undertake additional Le…
Dark halo baryons not in ancient halo white dwarfs
M. Creze, V. Mohan, A. C. Robin +5
Having ruled out the possibility that stellar objects are the main contributor of the dark matter embedding galaxies, microlensing experiments cannot exclude the hypothesis that a…
Synthesis of Galactic Stellar Populations and Expected Constraints from Infrared Surveys
A. C. Robin
Models of population synthesis for the Galaxy have been developed in order to understand galactic structure and evolution. They allow to test scenarii of evolution by comparisons b…
