KMT-2025-BLG-0975Lb and KMT-2025-BLG-1160Lb: Two Uranus-Mass Planets Beyond the Snow Line Discovered by Microlensing
Cheongho Han, Chung-Uk Lee, Andrzej Udalski +27
We present the analysis of two planetary microlensing events, KMT-2025-BLG-0975 and KMT-2025-BLG-1160, discovered during the 2025 Galactic bulge microlensing season through high-ca…
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…
Predictions of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Galactic Exoplanet Survey. IV. Lens Mass and Distance Measurements
Sean K. Terry, Etienne Bachelet, Farzaneh Zohrabi +54
As part of the Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey (GBTDS), the Nancy Grace Roman Galactic Exoplanet Survey (RGES) will use microlensing to discover cold outer planets and free-float…
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…
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…
