Four Planets Found through Microlensing Events Involving Faint Source Stars

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
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.

Wavelet Transforms of Microlensing Data: Denoising, Extracting Intrinsic Pulsations, and Planetary Signals

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Wavelets are waveform functions that describe transient and unstable variations, such as noise. In this work, we study the advantages of discrete and continuous wavelet transforms (DWTs and CWTs) of microlensing data to denoise them and extract their ...

Terrestrial- and Neptune-mass Free-Floating Planet Candidates from the MOA-II 9 yr Galactic Bulge Survey

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We report the discoveries of low-mass free-floating planet (FFP) candidates from the analysis of 2006–2014 MOA-II Galactic bulge survey data. In this data set, we found 6111 microlensing candidates and identified a statistical sample consisting of 3535 ...

KMT-2022-BLG-1818Lb,c: A Cold Super-Jupiter with a Saturn Sibling

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We present the discovery and analysis of the sixth microlensing two-planet system, KMT-2022-BLG-1818Lb,c, detected by a follow-up program targeting high-magnification events.

Development of Space Based Microlensing Exoplanet Mass Measurement Method

open access: yes, 2017
Gravitational microlensing is a popular technique used for detecting cold, gas giant exoplanets. When a background star is being lensed by a foreground star, it shows a single lens microlensing light curve.

Toward Measuring the Microlensing Event Rate in the Galactic Center. I. Event Detection from the UKIRT Microlensing Survey Data

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
To overcome the high optical extinction, near-infrared (NIR) observations are needed for probing the microlensing events toward the Galactic center. The 2015–2019 UKIRT microlensing survey toward the Galactic center is the first dedicated precursor NIR ...

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 ...

Prediction of Planet Yields by the PRime-focus Infrared Microlensing Experiment Microlensing Survey

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
The PRime-focus Infrared Microlensing Experiment (PRIME) will be the first to conduct a dedicated near-infrared microlensing survey by using a 1.8 m telescope with a wide field of view of 1.45 deg ^2 at the South African Astronomical Observatory.

Systematic KMTNet Planetary Anomaly Search. XI. Complete Sample of 2016 Subprime Field Planets

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Following Shin et al. (2023b), which is a part of the “Systematic KMTNet Planetary Anomaly Search” series (i.e., a search for planets in the 2016 KMTNet prime fields), we conduct a systematic search of the 2016 KMTNet subprime fields using a semi-machine-
