MOA-2010-BLG-073L: An M-Dwarf with a Substellar Companion at the Planet/Brown Dwarf Boundary

R. A. Street, J. -Y. Choi, Y. Tsapras +129

We present an analysis of the anomalous microlensing event, MOA-2010-BLG-073, announced by the Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics survey on 2010-03-18. This event was remark…

MOA-2010-BLG-523: "Failed Planet" = RS CVn Star

A. Gould, J. C. Yee, I. A. Bond +116

The Galactic bulge source MOA-2010-BLG-523S exhibited short-term deviations from a standard microlensing lightcurve near the peak of an Amax ~ 265 high-magnification microlensing e…

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…

Microlensig Binaries with Candidate Brown Dwarf Companions

I. -G. Shin, C. Han, A. Gould +152

Brown dwarfs are important objects because they may provide a missing link between stars and planets, two populations that have dramatically different formation history. In this pa…

Polarization in microlensing towards the Galactic bulge

G. Ingrosso, S. Calchi Novati, F. De Paolis +4

Gravitational microlensing, when finite size source effects are relevant, provides an unique tool for the study of source star stellar atmospheres through an enhancement of a chara…

High-precision photometry by telescope defocussing. IV. Confirmation of the huge radius of WASP-17b

John Southworth, M Dominik, X-S Fang +29

We present photometric observations of four transits in the WASP-17 planetary system, obtained using telescope defocussing techniques and with scatters reaching 0.5 mmag per point.…
