A Comprehensive Analysis of Three Microlensing Planet Candidates with the Planet/Binary Degeneracy
Jiyuan Zhang, Weicheng Zang, Yoon-Hyun Ryu +65
We present observations and analyses of three high-magnification microlensing events: KMT-2022-BLG-0954, KMT-2024-BLG-0697, and MOA-2024-BLG-018. All three exhibit the "Planet/Bina…
MOA-2022-BLG-091Lb and KMT-2024-BLG-1209Lb: Microlensing planets detected through weak caustic-crossing signals
Cheongho Han, Chung-Uk Lee, Andrzej Udalski +66
The light curves of the microlensing events MOA-2022-BLG-091 and KMT-2024-BLG-1209 exhibit anomalies with very similar features. These anomalies appear near the peaks of the light…
Systematic Reanalysis of KMTNet Microlensing Events, Paper II: Two New Planets in Giant-Source Events
Hongjing Yang, Jennifer C. Yee, Jiyuan Zhang +61
In this work, we continue to apply the updated KMTNet tender-love care (TLC) photometric pipeline to historical microlensing events. We apply the pipeline to a subsample of events…
Analyses of anomalous lensing events detected from the UKIRT microlensing survey
Cheongho Han, Weicheng Zang, Andrzej Udalski +61
The United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) microlensing survey was conducted over four years, from 2016 to 2019, with the goal of serving as a precursor to future near-infrared…
OGLE-2015-BLG-1609Lb: Sub-jovian planet orbiting a low-mass stellar or brown dwarf host
M. J. Mróz, R. Poleski, A. Udalski +70
We present a comprehensive analysis of a planetary microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-1609. The planetary anomaly was detected by two survey telescopes, OGLE and MOA. Each of these s…
The Microlensing Event Rate and Optical Depth from MOA-II 9 year Survey toward the Galactic Bulge
Kansuke Nunota, Takahiro Sumi, Naoki Koshimoto +23
We present measurements of the microlensing optical depth and event rate toward the Galactic bulge using the dataset from the 2006--2014 MOA-II survey, which covers 22 bulge fields…
