Systematic KMTNet Planetary Anomaly Search. VIII. Complete Sample of 2019 Subprime Field Planets

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We complete the publication of all microlensing planets (and “possible planets”) identified by the uniform approach of the KMT AnomalyFinder system in the 21 KMT subprime fields during the 2019 observing season, namely, KMT-2019-BLG-0298, KMT-2019-BLG ...

OGLE-2019-BLG-1180Lb: Discovery of a Wide-orbit Jupiter-mass Planet around a Late-type Star

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We report on the discovery and analysis of the planetary microlensing event OGLE-2019-BLG-1180 with a planet-to-star mass ratio q ∼ 0.003. The event OGLE-2019-BLG-1180 has unambiguous cusp-passing and caustic-crossing anomalies, which were caused by a ...

Detecting Multiplanetary Systems with Gravitational Microlensing and the Roman Space Telescope

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
It is plausible that most of the Stars in the Milky Way Galaxy, like the Sun, consist of planetary systems, instead of a single planet. Out of the estimately discovered 3980 planet-hosting stars, about 860 of them are known to be multiplanetary systems ...

MOA-2020-BLG-208Lb: Cool Sub-Saturn-mass Planet within Predicted Desert

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We analyze the MOA-2020-BLG-208 gravitational microlensing event and present the discovery and characterization of a new planet, MOA-2020-BLG-208Lb, with an estimated sub-Saturn mass.

Systematic KMTNet Planetary Anomaly Search. IX. Complete Sample of 2016 Prime-field Planets

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
As a part of the “Systematic KMTNet Planetary Anomaly Search” series, we report five new planets (namely, OGLE-2016-BLG-1635Lb, MOA-2016-BLG-532Lb, KMT-2016-BLG-0625Lb, OGLE-2016-BLG-1850Lb, and KMT-2016-BLG-1751Lb) and one planet candidate (KMT-2016-BLG-

Systematic KMTNet Planetary Anomaly Search. VII. Complete Sample of q < 10−4 Planets from the First 4 yr Survey

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present the analysis of seven microlensing planetary events with planet/host mass ratios q < 10 ^−4 : KMT-2017-BLG-1194, KMT-2017-BLG-0428, KMT-2019-BLG-1806, KMT-2017-BLG-1003, KMT-2019-BLG-1367, OGLE-2017-BLG-1806, and KMT-2016-BLG-1105.

Ogle-2018-blg-0677lb: A super earth near the galactic bulge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
We report the analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-2018-BLG-0677. A small feature in the light curve of the event leads to the discovery that the lens is a star-planet system. Although there are two degenerate solutions that could not be distinguished

Search for exoplanets in M31 with pixel-lensing and the PA-99-N2 event revisited [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Several exoplanets have been detected towards the Galactic bulge with the microlensing technique. We show that exoplanets in M31 may also be detected with the pixel-lensing method, if telescopes making high cadence observations of an ongoing microlensing

Free-floating Planet Mass Function from MOA-II 9 yr Survey toward the Galactic Bulge

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present the first measurement of the mass function of free-floating planets (FFPs), or very wide orbit planets down to an Earth mass, from the MOA-II microlensing survey in 2006–2014.

Exoplanets - search methods, discoveries, and prospects for astrobiology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Whereas the Solar System has Mars and Europa as the best candidates for finding fossil/extant life as we know it - based on complex carbon compounds and liquid water - the 263 (non-pulsar) planetary systems around other stars as known at 15 September ...
