Pluto's lower atmosphere and pressure evolution from ground-based stellar occultations, 1988-2016
E. Meza, B. Sicardy, M. Assafin +167
Context. Pluto's tenuous nitrogen (N2) atmosphere undergoes strong seasonal effects due to high obliquity and orbital eccentricity, and has been recently (July 2015) observed by th…
The First Circumbinary Planet Found by Microlensing: OGLE-2007-BLG-349L(AB)c
D. P. Bennett, S. H. Rhie, A. Udalski +79
We present the analysis of the first circumbinary planet microlensing event, OGLE-2007-BLG-349. This event has a strong planetary signal that is best fit with a mass ratio of $q \a…
Pluto's atmosphere from the 29 June 2015 ground-based stellar occultation at the time of the New Horizons flyby
B. Sicardy, J. Talbot, E. Meza +65
We present results from a multi-chord Pluto stellar occultation observed on 29 June 2015 from New Zealand and Australia. This occurred only two weeks before the NASA New Horizons f…
Reanalyses of Anomalous Gravitational Microlensing Events in the OGLE-III Early Warning System Database with Combined Data
J. Jeong, H. Park, C. Han +95
We reanalyze microlensing events in the published list of anomalous events that were observed from the OGLE lensing survey conducted during 2004-2008 period. In order to check the…
The asynchronous polar V1432 Aquilae and its path back to synchronism
David Boyd, Joseph Patterson, William Allen +23
V1432 Aquilae is the only known eclipsing asynchronous polar. In this respect it is unique and therefore merits our attention. We report the results of a 15-year campaign by the gl…
A Giant Planet beyond the Snow Line in Microlensing Event OGLE-2011-BLG-0251
N. Kains, R. Street, J. -Y. Choi +128
We present the analysis of the gravitational microlensing event OGLE-2011-BLG-0251. This anomalous event was observed by several survey and follow-up collaborations conducting micr…
MOA-2010-BLG-311: A planetary candidate below the threshold of reliable detection
J. C. Yee, L. -W. Hung, I. A. Bond +123
We analyze MOA-2010-BLG-311, a high magnification (A_max>600) microlensing event with complete data coverage over the peak, making it very sensitive to planetary signals. We fit th…
GRB 091029: At the limit of the fireball scenario
R. Filgas, J. Greiner, P. Schady +20
Using high-quality, broad-band afterglow data for GRB 091029, we test the validity of the forward-shock model for gamma-ray burst afterglows. We used multi-wavelength (NIR to X-ray…
MOA-2010-BLG-477Lb: constraining the mass of a microlensing planet from microlensing parallax, orbital motion and detection of blended light
E. Bachelet, I. -G. Shin, C. Han +138
Microlensing detections of cool planets are important for the construction of an unbiased sample to estimate the frequency of planets beyond the snow line, which is where giant pla…
Eclipses During the 2010 Eruption of the Recurrent Nova U Scorpii
Bradley E. Schaefer, Ashley Pagnotta, Aaron LaCluyze +34
The eruption of the recurrent nova U Scorpii on 28 January 2010 is now the all-time best observed nova event. We report 36,776 magnitudes throughout its 67 day eruption, for an ave…
MOA-2009-BLG-387Lb: A massive planet orbiting an M dwarf
Virginie Batista, A. Gould, S. Dieters +25
We report the discovery of a planet with a high planet-to-star mass ratio in the microlensing event MOA-2009-BLG-387, which exhibited pronounced deviations over a 12-day interval,…
Binary microlensing event OGLE-2009-BLG-020 gives a verifiable mass, distance and orbit predictions
J. Skowron, A. Udalski, A. Gould +99
We present the first example of binary microlensing for which the parameter measurements can be verified (or contradicted) by future Doppler observations. This test is made possibl…
A sub-Saturn Mass Planet, MOA-2009-BLG-319Lb
N. Miyake, T. Sumi, Subo Dong +119
We report the gravitational microlensing discovery of a sub-Saturn mass planet, MOA-2009-BLG-319Lb, orbiting a K or M-dwarf star in the inner Galactic disk or Galactic bulge. The h…
Mass measurement of a single unseen star and planetary detection efficiency for OGLE 2007-BLG-050
V. Batista, Subo Dong, A. Gould +93
We analyze OGLE-2007-BLG-050, a high magnification microlensing event (A ~ 432) whose peak occurred on 2 May, 2007, with pronounced finite-source and parallax effects. We compute p…
