Three Saturn-mass Microlensing Planets Identified through Signals from Peripheral-caustic Perturbations
Cheongho Han, Chung-Uk Lee, Andrzej Udalski +63
We present the discovery and analysis of three microlensing planets identified through brief positive anomalies on the wings of their light curves. The events, KMT-2021-BLG-0852, K…
KMT-2016-BLG-1337L: A Saturn-mass planet orbiting within a binary system of low-mass stars
Cheongho Han, Chung-Uk Lee, Ian A. Bond +55
We report the discovery and characterization of a planetary companion in the microlensing event KMT-2016-BLG-1337, which was produced by a binary system of low-mass stars. The ligh…
A Newly Identified Degeneracy Keeps the Planetary Interpretation Viable for OGLE-2011-BLG-0950
Jiyuan Zhang, Weicheng Zang, Andrzej Udalski +12
The microlensing event OGLE-2011-BLG-0950 exhibits the well-known ``Planet/Binary'' degeneracy, in which distinct lens configurations produce similar light curves but imply substan…
Four Giant Planets from 2024 KMTNet Microlensing Campaign
Cheongho Han, Andrzej Udalski, Ian A. Bond +56
In this work, we present analyses of four newly discovered planetary microlensing events from the 2024 KMTNet survey season: KMT-2024-BLG-0176, KMT-2024-BLG-0349, KMT-2024-BLG-1870…
Six binary brown dwarf candidates identified by microlensing
Cheongho Han, Chung-Uk Lee, Ian A. Bond +57
In this study, we analyze microlensing events from the 2023 and 2024 observing seasons to identify cases likely caused by binary systems composed of BDs. By applying criteria that…
Eppur non si trovano: Comments on the Primordial Black Hole Limits in the Galactic Halo
P. Mróz, A. Udalski, M. K. SzymaÅski +13
In a recent arXiv post, Hawkins & Garcia-Bellido raised doubts on the results of 20-yr long OGLE photometric monitoring, which did not find a large number of gravitational microlen…
