Unveiling MOA-2007-BLG-192: An M Dwarf Hosting a Likely Super-Earth

The Astronomical Journal
We present an analysis of high-angular-resolution images of the microlensing target MOA-2007-BLG-192 using Keck adaptive optics and the Hubble Space Telescope.

KMT-2025-BLG-1616Lb: First Microlensing Bound Planet From DREAMS

The Astronomical Journal
We present observations and analysis of the bound planetary microlensing event KMT-2025-BLG-1616. The planetary signal was captured by the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network and the Dark Energy Camera Rogue Earths and Mars Survey (DREAMS).

A Fast Concentric-disk Contour Integration Method for Microlensing Limb-darkening Effect

The Astronomical Journal
Incorporating limb darkening is a computationally demanding step in contour-integration-based microlensing modeling. Conventional concentric-ring integration is incompatible with high-order quadrature schemes, limiting efficiency.

The Brown-dwarf Desert Persists as a Mass-ratio Desert around Low-mass Stars

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Sun-like stars are known to host a paucity of brown-dwarf companions at close separations. Direct imaging surveys of intermediate-mass stars have suggested that the brown-dwarf desert may be fundamentally a feature in the mass ratio. Microlensing surveys

OGLE-2014-BLG-0221Lb: A Jupiter Mass Ratio Companion Orbiting Either a Late-type Star or a Stellar Remnant

The Astronomical Journal
We present the analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-2014-BLG-0221, a planetary candidate event discovered in 2014. The photometric light curve is best described by a binary-lens single-source model. Our light-curve modeling finds two degenerate models,

A Unified Analytic Framework for Microlensing Caustics: Geode Solutions and Hyper-Catalan Signatures

The Astrophysical Journal
We give a preparation-invariant analytic description of image formation near microlensing caustics. After a local Weierstrass preparation at any multiple image (order d ≥ 2), the lens mapping reduces to a single geode variable m satisfying m  =  U φ ( m )

On the Reparameterization between Cartesian Position–Velocity Vectors and Orbital Elements in the Kepler Problem

The Astrophysical Journal
Reparameterization from the standard set of orbital elements to Cartesian position–velocity vectors can be computationally advantageous for orbit inference problems, particularly when orbital elements are weakly constrained.
