Microlensing Results Challenge the Core Accretion Runaway Growth Scenario for Gas Giants
Daisuke Suzuki, David P. Bennett, Shigeru Ida +14
We compare the planet-to-star mass-ratio distribution measured by gravitational microlensing to core accretion theory predictions from population synthesis models. The core accreti…
First assessment of the binary lens OGLE-2015_BLG-0232
E. Bachelet, V. Bozza, C. Han +51
We present an analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-0232. This event is challenging to characterize for two reasons. First, the light curve is not well sampled during th…
Two new free-floating or wide-orbit planets from microlensing
P. Mroz, A. Udalski, D. P. Bennett +57
Planet formation theories predict the existence of free-floating planets that have been ejected from their parent systems. Although they emit little or no light, they can be detect…
OGLE-2015-BLG-1670Lb: A Cold Neptune beyond the Snow Line in the Provisional WFIRST Microlensing Survey Field
Clément Ranc, David P. Bennett, Yuki Hirao +56
We present the analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-1670, detected in a high-extinction field, very close to the Galactic plane. Due to the dust extinction along the li…
OGLE-2017-BLG-0039: Microlensing Event with Light from the Lens Identified from Mass Measurement
C. Han, Y. K. Jung, A. Udalski +58
We present the analysis of the caustic-crossing binary microlensing event OGLE-2017-BLG-0039. Thanks to the very long duration of the event, with an event time scale $t_{\rm E}\sim…
MOA-2016-BLG-319Lb: Microlensing Planet Subject to Rare Minor-Image Perturbation Degeneracy in Determining Planet Parameter
Cheongho Han, Ian A. Bond, Andrew Gould +42
We present the analysis of the planetary microlensing event MOA-2016-BLG-319. The event light curve is characterized by a brief ( days) anomaly near the peak produced by mi…
A Planetary Microlensing Event with an Unusually Red Source Star: MOA-2011-BLG-291
David P. Bennett, Andrzej Udalski, Ian A. Bond +43
We present the analysis of planetary microlensing event MOA-2011-BLG-291, which has a mass ratio of and a source star that is redder (or brighter) than…
OGLE-2014-BLG-0962 and the First Statistical Validation of Bayesian Priors for Galactic Microlensing
Yutong Shan, Jennifer C. Yee, Andrzej Udalski +46
OGLE-2014-BLG-0962 (OB140962) is a stellar binary microlensing event that was well-covered by observations from the Spitzer satellite as well as ground-based surveys. Modelling yie…
MOA-2015-BLG-337: A Planetary System with a Low-mass Brown Dwarf/Planetary Boundary Host, or a Brown Dwarf Binary
S. Miyazaki, T. Sumi, D. P. Bennett +59
We report the discovery and the analysis of the short timescale binary-lens microlensing event, MOA-2015-BLG-337. The lens system could be a planetary system with a very low mass h…
OGLE-2017-BLG-0482Lb: A Microlensing Super-Earth Orbiting a Low-mass Host Star
C. Han, Y. Hirao, A. Udalski +62
We report the discovery of a planetary system in which a super-earth orbits a late M-dwarf host. The planetary system was found from the analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-201…
Spitzer Microlensing Parallax for OGLE-2016-BLG-1067: a sub-Jupiter Orbiting an M-dwarf in the Disk
S. Calchi Novati, D. Suzuki, A. Udalski +65
We report the discovery of a sub-Jupiter mass planet orbiting beyond the snow line of an M-dwarf most likely in the Galactic disk as part of the joint Spitzer and ground-based moni…
OGLE-2014-BLG-0289: Precise Characterization of a Quintuple-Peak Gravitational Microlensing Event
A. Udalski, C. Han, V. Bozza +63
We present the analysis of the binary-microlensing event OGLE-2014-BLG-0289. The event light curve exhibits very unusual five peaks where four peaks were produced by caustic crossi…
