A Second Method to Photometrically Align Multi-Site Microlensing Light Curves: Source Color in Planetary Event MOA-2007-BLG-192

Andrew Gould, Subo Dong, David P. Bennett +3

At present, microlensing light curves from different telescopes and filters are photometrically aligned by fitting them to a common model. We present a second method based on photo…

Quantifying Quasar Variability As Part of a General Approach To Classifying Continuously Varying Sources

Szymon Kozlowski, Christopher S. Kochanek, A. Udalski +8

Robust fast methods to classify variable light curves in large sky surveys are becoming increasingly important. While it is relatively straightforward to identify common periodic s…

Sub-Saturn Planet MOA-2008-BLG-310Lb: Likely To Be In The Galactic Bulge

Julia Janczak, A. Fukui, Subo Dong +13

We report the detection of sub-Saturn-mass planet MOA-2008-BLG-310Lb and argue that it is the strongest candidate yet for a bulge planet. Deviations from the single-lens fit are sm…

Extreme Magnification Microlensing Event OGLE-2008-BLG-279: Strong Limits on Planetary Companions to the Lens Star

J. C. Yee, A. Udalski, T. Sumi +14

We analyze the extreme high-magnification microlensing event OGLE-2008-BLG-279, which peaked at a maximum magnification of A ~ 1600 on 30 May 2008. The peak of this event exhibits…

The Sizes of the X-ray and Optical Emission Regions of RXJ1131-1231

X. Dai, C. S. Kochanek, G. Chartas +4

We use gravitational microlensing of the four images of the z=0.658 quasar RXJ1131-1231 to measure the sizes of the optical and X-ray emission regions of the quasar. The (face-on)…

The OGLE View of Microlensing towards the Magellanic Clouds. I. A Trickle of Events in the OGLE-II LMC data

L. Wyrzykowski, S. Kozlowski, J. Skowron +9

We present the results from the OGLE-II survey (1996-2000) towards the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), which has the aim of detecting the microlensing phenomena caused by dark matter…
