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.

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.

A Planetary Microlensing Event with an Unusually Red Source Star: MOA-2011-BLG-291

open access: yes, 2018
We present the analysis of planetary microlensing event MOA-2011-BLG-291, which has a mass ratio of $q=(3.8\pm0.7)\times10^{-4}$ and a source star that is redder (or brighter) than the bulge main sequence. This event is located at a low Galactic latitude

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 ...

GravityCam: higher resolution visible wide-field imaging [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The limits to the angular resolution has, during the latest 70 years, been obtainable from the ground only through extremely expensive adaptive optics facilities at large telescopes, and covering extremely small spatial areas per exposure.

A New Parameterization for Finding Solutions for Microlensing Exoplanet Light Curves [PDF]

open access: yesPublications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific
The gravitational microlensing method of discovering exoplanets and multi-star systems can produce degenerate solutions, some of which require in-depth analysis to uncover.

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-

The Microlensing Planet Finder: Completing the Census of Extrasolar Planets in the Milky Way

open access: yes, 2004
The Microlensing Planet Finder (MPF) is a proposed Discovery mission that will complete the first census of extrasolar planets with sensitivity to planets like those in our own solar system.

KMT-2024-BLG-3237: Another Free-floating Planet Candidate with Angular Einstein Radius Measurement

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Planet-formation theories suggest the presence of free-floating planets (FFPs) that are ejected from their formation sites. While these planets emit very little light, they can be identified through gravitational microlensing.
