We present an analysis of two planetary microlensing events, KMT-2021-BLG-0247 and MOA-2023-BLG-169, both of which exhibit high magnifications and low planet--host mass ratios, but…
Testing KMTNet--PRIME Optical--Near-Infrared Source-Color Constraints in KMT-2024-BLG-0211 and KMT-2024-BLG-1522
Kansuke Nunota, Jennifer C. Yee, Takahiro Sumi +37
We present analyses of two 2024 microlensing events, KMT-2024-BLG-0211 and KMT-2024-BLG-1522, jointly observed by KMTNet in the optical and PRIME in the near-infrared. For KMT-2024…
A Search For Stellar-mass Black Holes Via Astrometric Microlensing II: 2012-2015 Keck Candidates
Mace J. Huston, Jessica R. Lu, Casey Y. Lam +58
The Milky Way is expected to host 10 stellar-mass black holes with an uncertain binary fraction. The only proven method to detect isolated stellar mass black holes is gra…
KMT-2026-BLG-0083L: A Two-Jovian-Planet System Orbiting an M Dwarf Discovered by Microlensing
Cheongho Han, Chung-Uk Lee, Zhixing Li +65
We present the analysis of the microlensing event KMT-2026-BLG-0083, which was independently detected by the KMTNet, OGLE, and PRIME surveys and also monitored by the DREAMS survey…
MOA-2020-BLG-108Lb: A Giant Planet Beyond the Snow Line of a Low-Mass Lens Near the Lower Boundary of the Mass-Ratio Desert
Yuki K. Satoh, David P. Bennett, Takahiro Sumi +21
We present an analysis of the microlensing event MOA-2020-BLG-108, which was discovered in June 2020 by the MOA collaboration toward the Galactic bulge. The observed light curve sh…
GREX-PLUS Science Book v2
PLUS Science Team, Shunsuke Baba, Sirio Belli +52
GREX-PLUS (Galaxy Reionization EXplorer and PLanetary Universe Spectrometer) is a mission candidate for a JAXA strategic L-class mission to be launched in the 2030s. Its primary sc…
Four Cold Giant Planets Discovered by High-Cadence Microlensing Surveys
Cheongho Han, Chung-Uk Lee, Andrzej Udalski +52
We report the discovery of four cold giant planets identified through the analysis of microlensing events detected by high-cadence surveys: OGLE-2016-BLG-0261, KMT-2025-BLG-0026, K…
Japan's Possible Contributions for Coronagraph of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO)
Keigo Enya, Kenta Yoneta, Naoshi Murakami +20
In this paper, we describe Japan's possible contributions for coronagraph of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) based on our independent study. We are considering to contribute…
Mass Production of 2023 KMTNet Microlensing Planets. III: Three Planets from the Subprime Field
Hongyu Li, Zhixing Li, Weicheng Zang +56
To complete the analysis of the 2023 KMTNet subprime-field microlensing planetary events identified by its AlertFinder system, we present the analysis of six events, KMT-2023-BLG-(…
Systematic KMTNet Planetary Anomaly Search. XIII. Complete Sample of 2021 Prime Field Planets
