OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb: First Spitzer Bulge Planet Lies Near the Planet/Brown-Dwarf Boundary
Y. -H. Ryu, J. C. Yee, A. Udalski +106
We report the discovery of OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb, which is likely to be the first Spitzer microlensing planet in the Galactic bulge/bar, an assignation that can be confirmed by two…
OGLE-2015-BLG-1459L: The Challenges of Exo-Moon Microlensing
K. -H. Hwang, A. Udalski, I. A. Bond +57
We show that dense OGLE and KMTNet -band survey data require four bodies (sources plus lenses) to explain the microlensing light curve of OGLE-2015-BLG-1459. However, these can…

An Isolated Microlens Observed from K2, Spitzer and Earth
Wei Zhu, A. Udalski, C. Huang +50
We present the result of microlensing event MOA-2016-BLG-290, which received observations from the two-wheel Kepler (K2), Spitzer, as well as ground-based observatories. A joint an…
Combining Spitzer parallax and Keck II adaptive optics imaging to measure the mass of a solar-like star orbited by a cold gaseous planet discovered by microlensing
J. -P. Beaulieu, V. Batista, D. P. Bennett +16
To obtain accurate mass measurements for cold planets discovered by microlensing, it is usually necessary to combine light curve modeling with at least two lens mass-distance relat…
OGLE-2016-BLG-0263L\lowercase{b}: Microlensing Detection of a Very Low-mass Binary Companion Through a Repeating Event Channel
C. Han, A. Udalski, A. Gould +51
We report the discovery of a planet-mass companion to the microlens OGLE-2016-BLG-0263L. Unlike most low-mass companions that were detected through perturbations to the smooth and…
Ground-based parallax confirmed by Spitzer: binary microlensing event MOA-2015-BLG-020
Tianshu Wang, Wei Zhu, Shude Mao +83
We present the analysis of the binary gravitational microlensing event MOA-2015-BLG-020. The event has a fairly long timescale (about 63 days) and thus the light curve deviates sig…
The First Planetary Microlensing Event with Two Microlensed Source Stars
D. P. Bennett, A. Udalski, C. Han +64
We present the analysis of microlensing event MOA-2010-BLG-117, and show that the light curve can only be explained by the gravitational lensing of a binary source star system by a…
The First Eclipsing Binary Catalogue from the MOA-II database
M. C. A. Li, N. J. Rattenbury, A. Bond +25
We present the first catalogue of eclipsing binaries in two MOA fields towards the Galactic bulge, in which over 8,000 candidates, mostly contact and semi-detached binaries of peri…
OGLE-2016-BLG-1469L: Microlensing Binary Composed of Brown Dwarfs
C. Han, A. Udalski, T. Sumi +50
We report the discovery of a binary composed of two brown dwarfs, based on the analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-2016-BLG-1469. Thanks to detection of both finite-source and…
