First Space-based Microlens Parallax Measurement of an Isolated Star: Spitzer Observations of OGLE-2014-BLG-0939
J. C. Yee, A. Udalski, S. Calchi Novati +14
We present the first space-based microlens parallax measurement of an isolated star. From the striking differences in the lightcurve as seen from Earth and from Spitzer (~1 AU to t…
Pathway to the Galactic Distribution of Planets: Combined Spitzer and Ground-Based Microlens Parallax Measurements of 21 Single-Lens Events
S. Calchi Novati, A. Gould, A. Udalski +82
We present microlens parallax measurements for 21 (apparently) isolated lenses observed toward the Galactic bulge that were imaged simultaneously from Earth and Spitzer, which was…
Spitzer as Microlens Parallax Satellite: Mass Measurement for the OGLE-2014-BLG-0124L Planet and its Host Star
A. Udalski, J. C. Yee, A. Gould +15
We combine Spitzer and ground-based observations to measure the microlens parallax vector , and so the mass and distance of OGLE-2014-BLG-0124L, making it the…
OGLE-2011-BLG-0265Lb: a Jovian Microlensing Planet Orbiting an M Dwarf
J. Skowron, I. -G. Shin, A. Udalski +121
We report the discovery of a Jupiter-mass planet orbiting an M-dwarf star that gave rise to the microlensing event OGLE-2011-BLG-0265. Such a system is very rare among known planet…
The metallicity of void dwarf galaxies
K. Kreckel, K. Croxall, B. Groves +2
The current Lambda CDM cosmological model predicts that galaxy evolution proceeds more slowly in lower density environments, suggesting that voids are a prime location to search fo…
Reverberation Mapping of the Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC 7469
B. M. Peterson, C. J. Grier, Keith Horne +43
A large reverberation mapping study of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 7469 has yielded emission-line lags for Hbeta 4861 and He II 4686 and a central black hole mass measurement of about…
KOSMOS and COSMOS: New facility instruments for the NOAO 4-meter telescopes
Paul Martini, J. Elias, S. Points +19
We describe the design, construction and measured performance of the Kitt Peak Ohio State Multi-Object Spectrograph (KOSMOS) for the 4-m Mayall telescope and the Cerro Tololo Ohio…
A Terrestrial Planet in a ~1 AU Orbit Around One Member of a ~15 AU Binary
A. Gould, A. Udalski, I. -G. Shin +61
We detect a cold, terrestrial planet in a binary-star system using gravitational microlensing. The planet has low mass (2 Earth masses) and lies projected at ~ 0.8 a…
OGLE-2013-BLG-0102LA,B: Microlensing binary with components at star/brown-dwarf and brown-dwarf/planet boundaries
Y. K. Jung, A. Udalski, T. Sumi +51
We present the analysis of the gravitational microlensing event OGLE-2013-BLG-0102. The light curve of the event is characterized by a strong short-term anomaly superposed on a smo…
The Black Hole Mass of NGC 4151. II. Stellar Dynamical Measurement from Near-Infrared Integral Field Spectroscopy
Christopher A. Onken, Monica Valluri, Jonathan S. Brown +8
We present a revised measurement of the mass of the central black hole (Mbh) in the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4151. The new stellar dynamical mass measurement is derived by applying an…
Direct Method Gas Phase Oxygen Abundances of 4 Lyman Break Analogs
Jonathan S. Brown, Kevin V. Croxall, Richard W. Pogge
We measure the gas-phase oxygen abundances in 4 Lyman Break Analogs (LBAs) using auroral emission lines to derive direct abundances. The direct method oxygen abundances of these ob…
OGLE-2012-BLG-0455/MOA-2012-BLG-206: Microlensing event with ambiguity in planetary interpretations caused by incomplete coverage of planetary signal
H. Park, C. Han, A. Gould +55
Characterizing a microlensing planet is done from modeling an observed lensing light curve. In this process, it is often confronted that solutions of different lensing parameters r…
AGN Type-casting: Mrk 590 No Longer Fits the Role
K. D. Denney, G. De Rosa, K. Croxall +9
We present multi-wavelength observations that trace more than 40 years in the life of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) in Mrk 590, traditionally known as a classic Seyfert 1 galax…
Candidate Gravitational Microlensing Events for Future Direct Lens Imaging
C. B. Henderson, H. Park, T. Sumi +76
The mass of the lenses giving rise to Galactic microlensing events can be constrained by measuring the relative lens-source proper motion and lens flux. The flux of the lens can be…
MOA-2013-BLG-220Lb: Massive Planetary Companion to Galactic-Disk Host
J. C. Yee, C. Han, A. Gould +70
We report the discovery of MOA-2013-BLG-220Lb, which has a super-Jupiter mass ratio relative to its host. The proper motion, $μ=12.5\pm 1\, {\rm mas}…
