Radius constraints from high-speed photometry of 20 low-mass white dwarf binaries

J. J. Hermes, Warren R. Brown, Mukremin Kilic +10

We carry out high-speed photometry on 20 of the shortest-period, detached white dwarf binaries known and discover systems with eclipses, ellipsoidal variations (due to tidal deform…

A Terrestrial Planet in a ~1 AU Orbit Around One Member of a ~15 AU Binary

A. Gould, A. Udalski, I. -G. Shin +61

We detect a cold, terrestrial planet in a binary-star system using gravitational microlensing. The planet has low mass (2 Earth masses) and lies projected at ~ 0.8 a…

OGLE-2012-BLG-0455/MOA-2012-BLG-206: Microlensing event with ambiguity in planetary interpretations caused by incomplete coverage of planetary signal

H. Park, C. Han, A. Gould +55

Characterizing a microlensing planet is done from modeling an observed lensing light curve. In this process, it is often confronted that solutions of different lensing parameters r…

Candidate Gravitational Microlensing Events for Future Direct Lens Imaging

C. B. Henderson, H. Park, T. Sumi +76

The mass of the lenses giving rise to Galactic microlensing events can be constrained by measuring the relative lens-source proper motion and lens flux. The flux of the lens can be…

MOA-2013-BLG-220Lb: Massive Planetary Companion to Galactic-Disk Host

J. C. Yee, C. Han, A. Gould +70

We report the discovery of MOA-2013-BLG-220Lb, which has a super-Jupiter mass ratio relative to its host. The proper motion, $μ=12.5\pm 1\, {\rm mas}…
