Microlensing Results Challenge the Core Accretion Runaway Growth Scenario for Gas Giants

Daisuke Suzuki, David P. Bennett, Shigeru Ida +14

We compare the planet-to-star mass-ratio distribution measured by gravitational microlensing to core accretion theory predictions from population synthesis models. The core accreti…

Unique Science from a Coordinated LSST-WFIRST Survey of the Galactic Bulge

R. A. Street, M. B. Lund, M. Donachie +19

NASA's WFIRST mission will perform a wide-field, NIR survey of the Galactic Bulge to search for exoplanets via the microlensing techniques. As the mission is due to launch in the m…

The Diverse Science Return from a Wide-Area Survey of the Galactic Plane

R. A. Street, M. B. Lund, S. Khakpash +19

The overwhelming majority of objects visible to LSST lie within the Galactic Plane. Though many previous surveys have avoided this region for fear of stellar crowding, LSST's spati…

Two new free-floating or wide-orbit planets from microlensing

P. Mroz, A. Udalski, D. P. Bennett +57

Planet formation theories predict the existence of free-floating planets that have been ejected from their parent systems. Although they emit little or no light, they can be detect…

OGLE-2015-BLG-1670Lb: A Cold Neptune beyond the Snow Line in the Provisional WFIRST Microlensing Survey Field

Clément Ranc, David P. Bennett, Yuki Hirao +56

We present the analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-1670, detected in a high-extinction field, very close to the Galactic plane. Due to the dust extinction along the li…

OGLE-2017-BLG-0039: Microlensing Event with Light from the Lens Identified from Mass Measurement

C. Han, Y. K. Jung, A. Udalski +58

We present the analysis of the caustic-crossing binary microlensing event OGLE-2017-BLG-0039. Thanks to the very long duration of the event, with an event time scale $t_{\rm E}\sim…
