Microlensig Binaries with Candidate Brown Dwarf Companions

I. -G. Shin, C. Han, A. Gould +152

Brown dwarfs are important objects because they may provide a missing link between stars and planets, two populations that have dramatically different formation history. In this pa…

Planetary and Other Short Binary Microlensing Events from the MOA Short Event Analysis

D. P. Bennett, T. Sumi, I. A. Bond +22

We present the analysis of four candidate short duration binary microlensing events from the 2006-2007 MOA Project short event analysis. These events were discovered as a byproduct…

Characterizing Lenses and Lensed Stars of High-Magnification Single-lens Gravitational Microlensing Events With Lenses Passing Over Source Stars

J. -Y. Choi, I. -G. Shin, S. -Y. Park +148

We present the analysis of the light curves of 9 high-magnification single-lens gravitational microlensing events with lenses passing over source stars, including OGLE-2004-BLG-254…

Microlensing Binaries Discovered through High-Magnification Channel

I. -G. Shin, J. -Y. Choi, S. -Y. Park +148

Microlensing can provide a useful tool to probe binary distributions down to low-mass limits of binary companions. In this paper, we analyze the light curves of 8 binary lensing ev…

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…
