The Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment. Ellipsoidal Variability of Red Giants in the Large Magellanic Cloud

I. Soszynski, A. Udalski, M. Kubiak +6

We used the OGLE-II and OGLE-III photometry of red giants in the Large Magellanic Cloud to select and study objects revealing ellipsoidal variability. We detected 1546 candidates f…

WR 20a is an Eclipsing Binary: Accurate Determination of Parameters for an Extremely Massive Wolf-Rayet System

A. Z. Bonanos, K. Z. Stanek, A. Udalski +7

We present a high-precision I-band light curve for the Wolf-Rayet binary WR 20a, obtained as a sub-project of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment. Rauw et al. have recentl…

Potential Direct Single-Star Mass Measurement

H. Ghosh

We analyze the lightcurve of the microlensing event OGLE-2003-BLG-175/MOA-2003-BLG-45 and show that it has two properties that, when combined with future high resolution astrometry…

OGLE-2003-BLG-238: Microlensing Mass Estimate of an Isolated Star

Guangfei Jiang, D. L. DePoy, A. Gal-Yam +38

Microlensing is the only known direct method to measure the masses of stars that lack visible companions. In terms of microlensing observables, the mass is given by M=(c^2/4G)\tild…

Constraints on Planetary Companions in the Magnification A=256 Microlensing Event: OGLE-2003-BLG-423

Jaiyul Yoo, D. L. DePoy, A. Gal-Yam +16

We develop a new method of modeling microlensing events based on a Monte Carlo simulation that incorporates both a Galactic model and the constraints imposed by the observed charac…
