A Neptune-mass Free-floating Planet Candidate Discovered by Microlensing Surveys
Przemek Mroz, Y. -H. Ryu, J. Skowron +26
Current microlensing surveys are sensitive to free-floating planets down to Earth-mass objects. All published microlensing events attributed to unbound planets were identified base…
OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb: First Spitzer Bulge Planet Lies Near the Planet/Brown-Dwarf Boundary
Y. -H. Ryu, J. C. Yee, A. Udalski +106
We report the discovery of OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb, which is likely to be the first Spitzer microlensing planet in the Galactic bulge/bar, an assignation that can be confirmed by two…
SDSS-V: Pioneering Panoptic Spectroscopy
Juna A. Kollmeier, Gail Zasowski, Hans-Walter Rix +47
SDSS-V will be an all-sky, multi-epoch spectroscopic survey of over six million objects. It is designed to decode the history of the Milky Way, trace the emergence of the chemical…
OGLE-2015-BLG-1459L: The Challenges of Exo-Moon Microlensing
K. -H. Hwang, A. Udalski, I. A. Bond +57
We show that dense OGLE and KMTNet -band survey data require four bodies (sources plus lenses) to explain the microlensing light curve of OGLE-2015-BLG-1459. However, these can…
The DEdicated MONitor of EXotransits and Transients (DEMONEXT): System Overview and Year One Results from a Low-Cost Robotic Telescope for Follow-Up of Exoplanetary Transits and Transients
Steven Villanueva, B. Scott Gaudi, Richard W. Pogge +4
We report on the design and first year of operations of the DEdicated MONitor of EXotransits and Transients (DEMONEXT). DEMONEXT is a 20 inch (0.5-m) robotic telescope using a Plan…
OGLE-2017-BLG-0173Lb: Low Mass-Ratio Planet in a "Hollywood" Microlensing Event
K. -H. Hwang, A. Udalski, Y. Shvartzvald +34
We present microlensing planet OGLE-2017-BLG-0173Lb, with planet-host mass ratio either or , the lowest or among the lowest e…
Ground-based parallax confirmed by Spitzer: binary microlensing event MOA-2015-BLG-020
Tianshu Wang, Wei Zhu, Shude Mao +83
We present the analysis of the binary gravitational microlensing event MOA-2015-BLG-020. The event has a fairly long timescale (about 63 days) and thus the light curve deviates sig…
The First Planetary Microlensing Event with Two Microlensed Source Stars
D. P. Bennett, A. Udalski, C. Han +64
We present the analysis of microlensing event MOA-2010-BLG-117, and show that the light curve can only be explained by the gravitational lensing of a binary source star system by a…
OGLE-2016-BLG-0693LB: Probing the Brown Dwarf Desert with Microlensing
Y. -H. Ryu, A. Udalski, J. C. Yee +25
We present an analysis of microlensing event OGLE-2016-BLG-0693, based on the survey-only microlensing observations by the OGLE and KMTNet groups. In order to analyze the light cur…
A giant planet undergoing extreme ultraviolet irradiation by its hot massive-star host
B. Scott Gaudi, Keivan G. Stassun, Karen A. Collins +57
The amount of ultraviolet irradiation and ablation experienced by a planet depends strongly on the temperature of its host star. Of the thousands of extra-solar planets now known,…
OGLE-2016-BLG-0168 Binary Microlensing Event: Prediction and Confirmation of the Micorlens Parallax Effect from Space-based Observation
I. -G. Shin, A. Udalski, J. C. Yee +32
The microlens parallax is a crucial observable for conclusively identifying the nature of lens systems in microlensing events containing or composed of faint (even dark) astronomic…
OGLE-2016-BLG-1003: First Resolved Caustic-crossing Binary-source Event Discovered by Second-generation Microlensing Surveys
Y. K. Jung, A. Udalski, I. A. Bond +50
We report the analysis of the first resolved caustic-crossing binary-source microlensing event OGLE-2016-BLG-1003. The event is densely covered by the round-the-clock observations…
