MOA-2008-BLG-379Lb: A Massive Planet from a High Magnification Event with a Faint Source
D. Suzuki, A. Udalski, T. Sumi +31
We report analysis of high microlensing event MOA-2008-BLG-379, which has a strong microlensing anomaly at its peak, due to a massive planet with a mass ratio of q = 6.9 x 10^{-3}.…
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…
MOA-2011-BLG-322Lb: a "second generation survey" microlensing planet
Y. Shvartzvald, D. Maoz, S. Kaspi +37
Global "second-generation" microlensing surveys aim to discover and characterize extrasolar planets and their frequency, by means of round-the-clock high-cadence monitoring of a la…
Interpretation of a Short-Term Anomaly in the Gravitational Microlensing Event MOA-2012-BLG-486
K. -H. Hwang, J. -Y. Choi, I. A. Bond +78
A planetary microlensing signal is generally characterized by a short-term perturbation to the standard single lensing light curve. A subset of binary-source events can produce per…
Microlensing Discovery of a Tight, Low Mass-ratio Planetary-mass Object around an Old, Field Brown Dwarf
C. Han, Y. K. Jung, A. Udalski +67
Observations of accretion disks around young brown dwarfs have led to the speculation that they may form planetary systems similar to normal stars. While there have been several de…
Extending the Planetary Mass Function to Earth Mass by Microlensing at Moderately High Magnification
Fumio Abe, Charlotte Airey, Ellen Barnard +10
A measurement by microlensing of the planetary mass function of planets with masses ranging from 5M_E to 10M_J and orbital radii from 0.5 to 10 AU was reported recently. A strategy…
