First assessment of the binary lens OGLE-2015_BLG-0232

E. Bachelet, V. Bozza, C. Han +51

We present an analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-0232. This event is challenging to characterize for two reasons. First, the light curve is not well sampled during th…

OGLE-2014-BLG-1186: gravitational microlensing providing evidence for a planet orbiting the foreground star or for a close binary source?

M. Dominik, E. Bachelet, V. Bozza +40

(abridged) Using the particularly long gravitational microlensing event OGLE-2014-BLG-1186 with a time-scale ~ 300 d, we present a methodology for identifying the na…

Reconciling the predictions of microlensing analysis with radial velocity measurements for OGLE-2011-BLG-0417

E. Bachelet, J. -P. Beaulieu, I. Boisse +2

Microlensing is able to reveal multiple body systems located several kilo-parsec away from the Earth. Since it does not require the measurement of light from the lens, microlensing…

VBBinaryLensing: a public package for microlensing light curve computation

V. Bozza, E. Bachelet, F. Bartolić +3

The computation of microlensing light curves represents a bottleneck for the modeling of planetary events, making broad searches in the vast parameter space of microlensing extreme…

Microlensing Parallax for OGLE-2017-BLG-0896 Reveals a Counter-Rotating Low-Mass Brown Dwarf

Yossi Shvartzvald, Jennifer C. Yee, Jan Skowron +63

The kinematics of isolated brown dwarfs in the Galaxy, beyond the solar neighborhood, is virtually unknown. Microlensing has the potential to probe this hidden population, as it ca…

The WFIRST Exoplanet Microlensing Survey

David P. Bennett, Rachel Akeson, Jay Anderson +71

The Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) was the top ranked large space mission in the 2010 New Worlds, New Horizons decadal survey, and it was formed by merging the scien…
