Four Planets Found through Microlensing Events Involving Faint Source Stars
To conduct a comprehensive demographic study of microlensing planets, it is essential to detect all planetary signals that exceed a predefined threshold through a detailed analysis of survey data.

Discerning Parallax Amplitude in Astrometric Microlensing
Gravitational microlensing is a powerful method for discovering isolated stellar-mass black holes (ISMBHs). These objects make long-duration microlensing events.

Robotic Monitoring of Gravitationally Lensed Quasars
We report on the first observational phase of the Liverpool Quasar Lens Monitoring (LQLM) project. This mainly consisted of the optical follow‐up of three lensed quasars using the 2 m Liverpool Robotic Telescope. The observational subprogram started in January 2005 and was completed in July 2007.

Primordial Black Hole Dark Matter Simulations Using PopSyCLE
Primordial black holes (PBHs), theorized to have originated in the early Universe, are speculated to be a viable form of dark matter. If they exist, they should be detectable through photometric and astrometric signals resulting from gravitational ...

Systematic KMTNet Planetary Anomaly Search. X. Complete Sample of 2017 Prime-field Planets
We complete the analysis of planetary candidates found by the KMT AnomalyFinder for the 2017 prime fields that cover ∼13 deg ^2 . We report three unambiguous planets: OGLE-2017-BLG-0640, OGLE-2017-BLG-1275, and OGLE-2017-BLG-1237.

KMT-2022-BLG-0086: Another Binary-lens Binary-source Microlensing Event
We present the analysis of a microlensing event KMT-2022-BLG-0086 of which the overall light curve is not described by a binary-lens single-source (2L1S) model, which suggests the existence of an extra lens or an extra source.

Residual Test to Search for Microlensing Signatures in Strongly Lensed Gravitational Wave Signals
When a gravitational wave signal encounters a massive object, such as a galaxy or galaxy cluster, it undergoes strong gravitational lensing, producing multiple copies of the original signal.
