Candidate Brown-dwarf Microlensing Events with Very Short Timescales and Small Angular Einstein Radii
Cheongho Han, Chung-Uk Lee, Andrzej Udalski +62
Short-timescale microlensing events are likely to be produced by substellar brown dwarfs (BDs), but it is difficult to securely identify BD lenses based on only event timescales $t…
