Campaign 9 of the Mission: Observational Parameters, Scientific Drivers, and Community Involvement for a Simultaneous Space- and Ground-based Microlensing Survey
Calen B. Henderson, Radosław Poleski, Matthew Penny +118
's Campaign 9 (C9) will conduct a 3.7 deg survey toward the Galactic bulge from 7/April through 1/July of 2016 that will leverage the spatial separation between…
Spitzer Microlensing Program as a Probe for Globular Cluster Planets. Analysis of OGLE-2015-BLG-0448
Radosław Poleski, Wei Zhu, Grant W. Christie +83
The microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-0448 was observed by Spitzer and lay within the tidal radius of the globular cluster NGC 6558. The event had moderate magnification and was int…
The Araucaria Project: A study of the classical Cepheid in the eclipsing binary system OGLE LMC562.05.9009 in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Wolfgang Gieren, Bogumil Pilecki, Grzegorz Pietrzynski +26
We present a detailed study of the classical Cepheid in the double-lined, highly eccentric eclipsing binary system OGLE-LMC562.05.9009. The Cepheid is a fundamental mode pulsator w…
No Evidence for Classical Cepheids and a New Dwarf Galaxy Behind the Galactic Disk
P. Pietrukowicz, A. Udalski, M. K. Szymanski +9
Based on data from the ongoing OGLE Galaxy Variability Survey (OGLE GVS) we have verified observed properties of stars detected by the near-infrared VVV survey in a direction near…
Spitzer IRAC Photometry for Time Series in Crowded Fields
S. Calchi Novati, A. Gould, J. C. Yee +22
We develop a new photometry algorithm that is optimized for time series in crowded fields and that is particularly adapted to faint and/or heavily blended targets. We app…
Mass Measurements of Isolated Objects from Space-based Microlensing
Wei Zhu, S. Calchi Novati, A. Gould +78
We report on the mass and distance measurements of two single-lens events from the 2015 \emph{Spitzer} microlensing campaign. With both finite-source effect and microlens parallax…
Black Hole, Neutron Star and White Dwarf Candidates from Microlensing with OGLE-III
L. Wyrzykowski, Z. Kostrzewa-Rutkowska, J. Skowron +13
Most stellar remnants so far have been found in binary systems, where they interact with matter from their companions. Isolated neutron stars and black holes are difficult to find…
Spitzer Parallax of OGLE-2015-BLG-0966: A Cold Neptune in the Galactic Disk
R. A. Street, A. Udalski, S. Calchi Novati +106
We report the detection of a Cold Neptune m_planet=21+/-2MEarth orbiting a 0.38MSol M dwarf lying 2.5-3.3 kpc toward the Galactic center as part of a campaign combining ground-base…
The OGLE Collection of Variable Stars. Anomalous Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds
I. Soszynski, A. Udalski, M. K. Szymanski +10
We present a collection of 250 anomalous Cepheids (ACs) discovered in the OGLE-IV fields toward the Large (LMC) and Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The LMC sample is an extension of…
Spitzer Microlens Measurement of a Massive Remnant in a Well-Separated Binary
Y. Shvartzvald, A. Udalski, A. Gould +63
We report the detection and mass measurement of a binary lens OGLE-2015-BLG-1285La,b, with the more massive component having (80% probability). A main-sequence…
Total eclipse of the heart: The AM CVn Gaia14aae / ASSASN-14cn
H. C. Campbell, T. R. Marsh, M. Fraser +82
We report the discovery and characterisation of a deeply eclipsing AM CVn-system, Gaia14aae (= ASSASN-14cn). Gaia14aae was identified independently by the All-Sky Automated Survey…
Fast radio bursts: the observational case for a Galactic origin
Dan Maoz, Abraham Loeb, Yossi Shvartzvald +10
There are by now ten published detections of fast radio bursts (FRBs), single bright GHz-band millisecond pulses of unknown origin. Proposed explanations cover a broad range from e…
Ultra-Short-Period Binary Systems in the OGLE Fields Toward the Galactic Bulge
I. Soszynski, K. Stepien, B. Pilecki +11
We present a sample of 242 ultra-short-period (P < 0.22 d) eclipsing and ellipsoidal binary stars identified in the OGLE fields toward the Galactic bulge. Based on the light curve…
