MOA 2011-BLG-028Lb: a Neptune-mass Microlensing Planet in the Galactic Bulge
J. Skowron, A. Udalski, R. Poleski +35
We present the discovery of a Neptune-mass planet orbiting a 0.8 +- 0.3 M_Sun star in the Galactic bulge. The planet manifested itself during the microlensing event MOA 2011-BLG-02…
Campaign 9 of the Mission: Observational Parameters, Scientific Drivers, and Community Involvement for a Simultaneous Space- and Ground-based Microlensing Survey
Calen B. Henderson, Radosław Poleski, Matthew Penny +118
's Campaign 9 (C9) will conduct a 3.7 deg survey toward the Galactic bulge from 7/April through 1/July of 2016 that will leverage the spatial separation between…
Spitzer Microlensing Program as a Probe for Globular Cluster Planets. Analysis of OGLE-2015-BLG-0448
Radosław Poleski, Wei Zhu, Grant W. Christie +83
The microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-0448 was observed by Spitzer and lay within the tidal radius of the globular cluster NGC 6558. The event had moderate magnification and was int…
High-precision photometry by telescope defocussing. VIII. WASP-22, WASP-41, WASP-42 and WASP-55
John Southworth, J. Tregloan-Reed, M. I. Andersen +47
We present 13 high-precision and four additional light curves of four bright southern-hemisphere transiting planetary systems: WASP-22, WASP-41, WASP-42 and WASP-55. In the cases o…
Physical properties of the planetary systems WASP-45 and WASP-46 from simultaneous multi-band photometry
S. Ciceri, L. Mancini, J. Southworth +45
Accurate measurements of the physical characteristics of a large number of exoplanets are useful to strongly constrain theoretical models of planet formation and evolution, which l…
Red noise versus planetary interpretations in the microlensing event OGLE-2013-BLG-446
E. Bachelet, D. M. Bramich, C. Han +98
For all exoplanet candidates, the reliability of a claimed detection needs to be assessed through a careful study of systematic errors in the data to minimize the false positives r…
Rotation periods and astrometric motions of the Luhman 16AB brown dwarfs by high-resolution lucky-imaging monitoring
L. Mancini, P. Giacobbe, S. P. Littlefair +33
Context. Photometric monitoring of the variability of brown dwarfs can provide useful information about the structure of clouds in their cold atmospheres. The brown-dwarf binary sy…
Mass Measurements of Isolated Objects from Space-based Microlensing
Wei Zhu, S. Calchi Novati, A. Gould +78
We report on the mass and distance measurements of two single-lens events from the 2015 \emph{Spitzer} microlensing campaign. With both finite-source effect and microlens parallax…
Larger and faster: revised properties and a shorter orbital period for the WASP-57 planetary system from a pro-am collaboration
John Southworth, L. Mancini, J. Tregloan-Reed +36
Transits in the WASP-57 planetary system have been found to occur half an hour earlier than expected. We present ten transit light curves from amateur telescopes, on which this dis…
Spitzer Parallax of OGLE-2015-BLG-0966: A Cold Neptune in the Galactic Disk
R. A. Street, A. Udalski, S. Calchi Novati +106
We report the detection of a Cold Neptune m_planet=21+/-2MEarth orbiting a 0.38MSol M dwarf lying 2.5-3.3 kpc toward the Galactic center as part of a campaign combining ground-base…
Spitzer Microlens Measurement of a Massive Remnant in a Well-Separated Binary
Y. Shvartzvald, A. Udalski, A. Gould +63
We report the detection and mass measurement of a binary lens OGLE-2015-BLG-1285La,b, with the more massive component having (80% probability). A main-sequence…
Pluto's atmosphere from stellar occultations in 2012 and 2013
A. Dias-Oliveira, B. Sicardy, E. Lellouch +42
We analyze two multi-chord stellar occultations by Pluto observed on July 18th, 2012 and May 4th, 2013, and monitored respectively from five and six sites. They provide a total of…
Transits and starspots in the WASP-6 planetary system
Jeremy Tregloan-Reed, John Southworth, M. Burgdorf +27
We present updates to \textsc{prism}, a photometric transit-starspot model, and \textsc{gemc}, a hybrid optimisation code combining MCMC and a genetic algorithm. We then present hi…
A Census of Variability in Globular Cluster M68 (NGC 4590)
N. Kains, A. Arellano Ferro, R. Figuera Jaimes +32
We analyse 20 nights of CCD observations in the V and I bands of the globular cluster M68 (NGC 4590), using these to detect variable objects. We also obtained electron-multiplying…
