Microlensing Optical Depth, Event Rate, and Limits on Compact Objects in Dark Matter Based on 20 Yr of OGLE Observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Some previous studies have suggested that massive and intermediate-mass primordial black holes (PBHs) could comprise a substantial fraction of dark matter in the Universe.

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

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Investigating the Binary Source Degeneracy for Wide-orbit Planets

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Wide-orbit planets are particularly sensitive to detection by the Roman Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey (GBTDS). This study investigates the degeneracy of these events with binary sources, focusing on how observation cadence affects the resolution of ...

Systematic Reanalysis of KMTNet Microlensing Events. II. Two New Planets in Giant-source Events

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
In this work, we continue to apply the updated KMTNet tender-love care photometric pipeline to historical microlensing events. We apply the pipeline to a subsample of events from the KMTNet database, which we refer to as the giant source sample ...

The Variable Sky Through the OGLE Eye

open access: yesUniverse
The Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) is one of the most productive and influential photometric sky surveys in the history of observational astronomy. Originally designed to detect dark matter through gravitational microlensing events, OGLE

Limits on Planetary-mass Primordial Black Holes from the OGLE High-cadence Survey of the Magellanic Clouds

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Observations of the Galactic bulge revealed an excess of short-timescale gravitational microlensing events that are generally attributed to a large population of free-floating or wide-orbit exoplanets.
