Observational Parameters of Blue Large-amplitude Pulsators
P. Pietrukowicz, M. Latour, I. Soszynski +15
Blue large-amplitude pulsators (BLAPs) are a recently discovered class of short-period pulsating variable stars. In this work, we present new information on these stars based on ph…
HST pre-imaging of a free-floating planet candidate microlensing event
Mateusz Kapusta, Przemek Mroz, Yoon-Hyun Ryu +33
High-cadence microlensing observations uncovered a population of very short-timescale microlensing events, which are believed to be caused by the population of free-floating planet…
Microlensing events indicate that super-Earth exoplanets are common in Jupiter-like orbits
Weicheng Zang, Youn Kil Jung, Jennifer C. Yee +65
Exoplanets classified as super-Earths are commonly observed on short period orbits, close to their host stars, but their abundance on wider orbits is poorly constrained. Gravitatio…
Systematic KMTNet Planetary Anomaly Search. XII. Complete Sample of 2017 Subprime Field Planets
Yuqian Gui, Weicheng Zang, Ruocheng Zhai +39
We report the analysis of four unambiguous planets and one possible planet from the subprime fields () of the 2017 Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMT…
Observations of Microlensed Images with Dual-field Interferometry: On-sky Demonstration and Prospects
P. Mroz, S. Dong, A. Merand +57
Interferometric observations of gravitational microlensing events offer an opportunity for precise, efficient, and direct mass and distance measurements of lensing objects, especia…
No massive black holes in the Milky Way halo
P. Mroz, A. Udalski, M. K. Szymanski +13
The gravitational wave detectors have unveiled a population of massive black holes that do not resemble those observed in the Milky Way and whose origin is debated. According to on…
