KMT-2023-BLG-1431Lb: A New Microlensing Planet from a Subtle Signature
Aislyn Bell, Jiyuan Zhang, Youn Kil Jung +70
The current studies of microlensing planets are limited by small number statistics. Follow-up observations of high-magnification microlensing events can efficiently form a statisti…
Systematic Reanalysis of KMTNet microlensing events, Paper I: Updates of the Photometry Pipeline and a New Planet Candidate
Hongjing Yang, Jennifer C. Yee, Kyu-Ha Hwang +52
In this work, we update and develop algorithms for KMTNet tender-love care (TLC) photometry in order to create an new, mostly automated, TLC pipeline. We then start a project to sy…

OGLE-2019-BLG-0825: Constraints on the Source System and Effect on Binary-lens Parameters arising from a Five Day Xallarap Effect in a Candidate Planetary Microlensing Event
Yuki K. Satoh, Naoki Koshimoto, David P. Bennett +86
We present an analysis of microlensing event OGLE-2019-BLG-0825. This event was identified as a planetary candidate by preliminary modeling. We find that significant residuals from…
Brown dwarf companions in binaries detected from the 2021 season high-cadence microlensing surveys
Cheongho Han, Youn Kil Jung, Ian A. Bond +45
As a part of the project aiming to build a homogeneous sample of binary-lens (2L1S) events containing brown-dwarf (BD) companions, we investigate the 2021 season microlensing data…

Cheongho Han, Chung-Uk Lee, Ian A. Bond +49
We investigate the microlensing data collected in the 2022 season from the high-cadence microlensing surveys in order to find weak signals produced by planetary companions to lense…
JASMINE: Near-Infrared Astrometry and Time Series Photometry Science
Daisuke Kawata, Hajime Kawahara, Naoteru Gouda +86
Japan Astrometry Satellite Mission for INfrared Exploration (JASMINE) is a planned M-class science space mission by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, the Japan Aero…
Roman CCS White Paper: Characterizing the Galactic population of isolated black holes
Casey Y. Lam, Natasha Abrams, Jeff Andrews +34
Although there are estimated to be 100 million isolated black holes (BHs) in the Milky Way, only one has been found so far, resulting in significant uncertainty about their propert…
The Galactic Center with Roman
Sean K. Terry, Matthew W. Hosek, Jessica R. Lu +31
We advocate for a Galactic center (GC) field to be added to the Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey (GBTDS). The new field would yield high-cadence photometric and astrometric measur…
KMT-2021-BLG-1150Lb: Microlensing planet detected through a densely covered planetary-caustic signal
Cheongho Han, Youn Kil Jung, Ian A. Bond +49
Recently, there have been reports of various types of degeneracies in the interpretation of planetary signals induced by planetary caustics. In this work, we check whether such deg…
Optical Alignment Method for the PRIME Telescope
Hibiki Yama, Daisuke Suzuki, Shota Miyazaki +7
We describe the optical alignment method for the Prime-focus Infrared Microlensing Experiment (PRIME) telescope which is a prime-focus near-infrared (NIR) telescope with a wide fie…
