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…
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…
The Role of Long Period Variable Stars in Observational Astrophysics
Dorota M. Skowron, Igor SoszyÅski
Long-period variables (LPVs) are evolved red giant and supergiant stars whose pulsations provide unique insights into late stages of stellar evolution and serve as essential tools…
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…
