Microlensing Event MOA-2007-BLG-400: Exhuming the Buried Signature of a Cool, Jovian-Mass Planet

Subo Dong, I. A. Bond, A. Gould +55

We report the detection of the cool, Jovian-mass planet MOA-2007-BLG-400Lb. The planet was detected in a high-magnification microlensing event (with peak magnification A_max = 628)…

A Low-Mass Planet with a Possible Sub-Stellar-Mass Host in Microlensing Event MOA-2007-BLG-192

D. P. Bennett, I. A. Bond, A. Udalski +44

We report the detection of an extrasolar planet of mass ratio q ~ 2 x 10^(-4) in microlensing event MOA-2007-BLG-192. The best fit microlensing model shows both the microlensing pa…

High magnification events by MOA in 2007

Philip Yock

Gravitational microlensing events of high magnification provide exceptional sensitivity to the presence of low-mass planets orbiting the lens star, including planets with masses as…

MOA-cam3: a wide-field mosaic CCD camera for a gravitational microlensing survey in New Zealand

T. Sako, T. Sekiguchi, M. Sasaki +16

We have developed a wide-field mosaic CCD camera, MOA-cam3, mounted at the prime focus of the Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics (MOA) 1.8-m telescope. The camera consists o…

OGLE-2005-BLG-071Lb, the Most Massive M-Dwarf Planetary Companion?

Subo Dong, Andrew Gould, Andrzej Udalski +81

We combine all available information to constrain the nature of OGLE-2005-BLG-071Lb, the second planet discovered by microlensing and the first in a high-magnification event. These…

Discovery of a Jupiter/Saturn Analog with Gravitational Microlensing

B. S. Gaudi, D. P. Bennett, A. Udalski +66

Searches for extrasolar planets have uncovered an astonishing diversity of planetary systems, yet the frequency of solar system analogs remains unknown. The gravitational microlens…
