Speeding up low-mass planetary microlensing simulations and modelling: the Caustic Region Of INfluence

Matthew T. Penny

Extensive simulations of planetary microlensing are necessary both before and after a survey is conducted: before to design and optimize the survey and after to understand its dete…

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…

KELT-6b: A P~7.9 d Hot Saturn Transiting a Metal-Poor Star with a Long-Period Companion

Karen A. Collins, Jason D. Eastman, Thomas G. Beatty +39

We report the discovery of KELT-6b, a mildly-inflated Saturn-mass planet transiting a metal-poor host. The initial transit signal was identified in KELT-North survey data, and the…

A detailed census of variable stars in the globular cluster NGC 6333 (M9) from CCD differential photometry

A. Arellano Ferro, D. M. Bramich, R. Figuera Jaimes +37

We report CCD and time-series photometry of the globular cluster NGC 6333 (M9). The technique of difference image analysis has been used, which enables photometric precisio…
