Detection of Extrasolar Planets by Gravitational Microlensing [PDF]
Gravitational microlensing provides a unique window on the properties and prevalence of extrasolar planetary systems because of its ability to find low-mass planets at separations of a few AU.

Optimal Survey Strategies and Predicted Planet Yields for the Korean Microlensing Telescope Network [PDF]
The Korean Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) will consist of three 1.6m telescopes each with a 4 deg^{2} field of view (FoV) and will be dedicated to monitoring the Galactic Bulge to detect exoplanets via gravitational microlensing.

Simulating Gravitational Microlensing Events by TESS: Predictions on Statistics and Properties
We study the statistics and properties of microlensing events that can be detected by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) based on Monte Carlo simulations. We simulate potential microlensing events from a sample of TESS Candidate Target List

Predictions of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Galactic Exoplanet Survey. II. Free-floating Planet Detection Rates [PDF]
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman) will perform a Galactic Exoplanet Survey (RGES) to discover bound exoplanets with semimajor axes greater than 1 au using gravitational microlensing. Roman will even be sensitive to planetary-mass objects that
