M. Kennedy, P. M. Garnavich, P. J. Callanan +3
The "evolved main-sequence" channel is thought to contribute significantly to the population of AM CVn type systems in the Galaxy, and also to the number of cataclysmic variables d…
Red noise versus planetary interpretations in the microlensing event OGLE-2013-BLG-446
E. Bachelet, D. M. Bramich, C. Han +98
For all exoplanet candidates, the reliability of a claimed detection needs to be assessed through a careful study of systematic errors in the data to minimize the false positives r…
Spitzer IRAC Photometry for Time Series in Crowded Fields
S. Calchi Novati, A. Gould, J. C. Yee +22
We develop a new photometry algorithm that is optimized for time series in crowded fields and that is particularly adapted to faint and/or heavily blended targets. We app…
Mass Measurements of Isolated Objects from Space-based Microlensing
Wei Zhu, S. Calchi Novati, A. Gould +78
We report on the mass and distance measurements of two single-lens events from the 2015 \emph{Spitzer} microlensing campaign. With both finite-source effect and microlens parallax…
KELT-4Ab: An inflated Hot Jupiter transiting the bright (V~10) component of a hierarchical triple
Jason D. Eastman, Thomas G. Beatty, Robert J. Siverd +42
We report the discovery of KELT-4Ab, an inflated, transiting Hot Jupiter orbiting the brightest component of a hierarchical triple stellar system. The host star is an F star with $…
Spitzer Parallax of OGLE-2015-BLG-0966: A Cold Neptune in the Galactic Disk
R. A. Street, A. Udalski, S. Calchi Novati +106
We report the detection of a Cold Neptune m_planet=21+/-2MEarth orbiting a 0.38MSol M dwarf lying 2.5-3.3 kpc toward the Galactic center as part of a campaign combining ground-base…
Spitzer Microlens Measurement of a Massive Remnant in a Well-Separated Binary
Y. Shvartzvald, A. Udalski, A. Gould +63
We report the detection and mass measurement of a binary lens OGLE-2015-BLG-1285La,b, with the more massive component having (80% probability). A main-sequence…
Confirmation of the Planetary Microlensing Signal and Star and Planet Mass Determinations for Event OGLE-2005-BLG-169
