Microlensing Results Challenge the Core Accretion Runaway Growth Scenario for Gas Giants
Daisuke Suzuki, David P. Bennett, Shigeru Ida +14
We compare the planet-to-star mass-ratio distribution measured by gravitational microlensing to core accretion theory predictions from population synthesis models. The core accreti…
Unique Science from a Coordinated LSST-WFIRST Survey of the Galactic Bulge
R. A. Street, M. B. Lund, M. Donachie +19
NASA's WFIRST mission will perform a wide-field, NIR survey of the Galactic Bulge to search for exoplanets via the microlensing techniques. As the mission is due to launch in the m…
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…
Two new free-floating or wide-orbit planets from microlensing
P. Mroz, A. Udalski, D. P. Bennett +57
Planet formation theories predict the existence of free-floating planets that have been ejected from their parent systems. Although they emit little or no light, they can be detect…
OGLE-2015-BLG-1670Lb: A Cold Neptune beyond the Snow Line in the Provisional WFIRST Microlensing Survey Field
Clément Ranc, David P. Bennett, Yuki Hirao +56
We present the analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-1670, detected in a high-extinction field, very close to the Galactic plane. Due to the dust extinction along the li…
OGLE-2017-BLG-0039: Microlensing Event with Light from the Lens Identified from Mass Measurement
C. Han, Y. K. Jung, A. Udalski +58
We present the analysis of the caustic-crossing binary microlensing event OGLE-2017-BLG-0039. Thanks to the very long duration of the event, with an event time scale $t_{\rm E}\sim…
