OGLE-2017-BLG-0448Lb: A Low Mass–Ratio Wide-orbit Microlensing Planet?

The Astronomical Journal
The gravitational microlensing technique is most sensitive to planets in a Jupiter-like orbit and has detected more than 200 planets. However, only a few wide-orbit ( s > 2) microlensing planets have been discovered, where s is the planet-to-host ...

Revisiting a Quasar Microlensing Event Towards AGN J1249+3449

Universe
The gravitational wave event GW190521 seems to be the only BH merger event possibly correlated with an electromagnetic counterpart, which appeared about 34 days after the GW event.

KMT-2018-BLG-0029Lb and OGLE-2019-BLG-0960Lb: Mass Measurements for Two Super-Earth Microlensing Planets

The Astronomical Journal
KMT-2018-BLG-0029Lb and OGLE-2019-BLG-0960Lb were the lowest mass-ratio microlensing planets at the time of discovery. For both events, microlensing parallax measurements from the Spitzer Space Telescope implied lens systems that were more distant and ...

The BAGLE Python Package for Bayesian Analysis of Gravitational Lensing Events

The Astronomical Journal
We present the open-source Python package, Bayesian Analysis of Gravitational Lensing Events (BAGLE), which enables modeling and joint fitting of photometric and astrometric data sets. We describe the model parameterizations and present the equations for

Mass Production of 2023 KMTNet Microlensing Planets. II. Two Planets and A Brown Dwarf

The Astronomical Journal
To expand the homogeneous microlensing planetary sample of the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet), we investigate six planetary candidates identified by the AnomalyFinder search in the 2023 prime-field data, namely KMT-2023-BLG-1592, OGLE-2023-

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
