Photometric variability of nitrogen-rich Wolf-Rayet stars in Magellanic Clouds with OGLE
Jana MarkoviÄ, Guadalupe Sáez-Cano, Yaël Nazé +3
We present a comprehensive analysis of the photometric variability of (presumably single) nitrogen-rich Wolf-Rayet (WN) stars in the Magellanic Clouds, using long-term observations…
A free-floating-planet microlensing event caused by a Saturn-mass object
Subo Dong, Zexuan Wu, Yoon-Hyun Ryu +39
A population of free-floating planets is known from gravitational microlensing surveys. None have a directly measured mass, owing to a degeneracy with the distance, but the populat…
Constraining Lens Masses in Moderately to Highly Magnified Microlensing Events from Gaia
U. Pylypenko, Å. Wyrzykowski, P. J. MikoÅajczyk +57
Microlensing events provide a unique way to detect and measure the masses of isolated, non-luminous objects, particularly dark stellar remnants. Under certain conditions, it is pos…
Microlensing optical depth, event rate, and limits on compact objects in dark matter based on 20 yr of OGLE observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud
P. Mróz, A. Udalski, M. K. SzymaÅski +12
Some previous studies have suggested that massive and intermediate-mass primordial black holes (PBHs) could comprise a substantial fraction of dark matter in the Universe. Such bla…
A Comprehensive Analysis of Three Microlensing Planet Candidates with the Planet/Binary Degeneracy
Jiyuan Zhang, Weicheng Zang, Yoon-Hyun Ryu +65
We present observations and analyses of three high-magnification microlensing events: KMT-2022-BLG-0954, KMT-2024-BLG-0697, and MOA-2024-BLG-018. All three exhibit the "Planet/Bina…
Three binary-source binary-lens microlensing events from the 2024 microlensing campaign
Cheongho Han, Chung-Uk Lee, Andrzej Udalski +27
We investigated microlensing events detected by the OGLE and KMTNet surveys during the 2024 observing season, focusing on those that exhibit very complex anomaly features. Through…
