Four Cold Giant Planets Discovered by High-cadence Microlensing Surveys

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We report the discovery of four cold giant planets identified through the analysis of microlensing events detected by high-cadence surveys: OGLE-2016-BLG-0261, KMT-2025-BLG-0026, KMT-2025-BLG-0030, and KMT-2025-BLG-2272.

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

open access: yesThe 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,

OGLE-2011-BLG-0462: An Isolated Stellar-mass Black Hole Confirmed Using New HST Astrometry and Updated Photometry

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The long-duration Galactic-bulge microlensing event OGLE-2011-BLG-0462 produced relativistic astrometric deflections of the source star, which we measured using Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations taken at eight epochs over ∼6 yr.

Candidate Microlensing Brown Dwarfs in Binary Lens Systems from the 2023–2025 Observing Seasons

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We present detailed light-curve analyses of 10 binary-lens microlensing events observed during the 2023–2025 seasons and selected as candidates for hosting brown dwarf companions.

The First Model-independent Upper Bound on Microlensing Signature of the Highest-mass Binary Black Hole Event GW231123

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The recently discovered gravitational-wave event GW231123 is the most massive binary black hole merger detected to date. The inferred source masses of the event fall within the pair-instability supernova mass gap, where black holes formed directly from ...

Fast Radio Bursts by Stellar Wind Microlensing of a Faint Background Source

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
By assuming the inverse square law of solar wind plasma density as representative of other stars, it is shown that just outside a star, the outward deflection of a passing radio signal at ν  ≈ 1 GHz (which is capable of penetrating the plasma) is about 5

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

open access: yesThe 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 )
