The Star Blended with the MOA-2008-BLG-310 Source Is Not the Exoplanet Host Star

open access: yes, 2017
High resolution Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image analysis of the MOA-2008-BLG-310 microlens system indicates that the excess flux at the location of the source found in the discovery paper cannot primarily be due to the lens star because it does not ...

Mass Production of 2023 KMTNet Microlensing Planets. I. Low Mass Ratio

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We initiate the systematic search for planets in the 2023 data of the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet), focusing on those planets found by the KMTNet AnomalyFinder with low preliminary estimates of the mass ratio, q

Gaia22dkvLb: A Microlensing Planet Potentially Accessible to Radial-velocity Characterization

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We report discovering an exoplanet from following up a microlensing event alerted by Gaia. The event Gaia22dkv is toward a disk source rather than the traditional bulge microlensing fields. Our primary analysis yields a Jovian planet with ${M}_{{\rm{p}}}=

OGLE-2015-BLG-1670Lb: A Cold Neptune beyond the Snow Line in the Provisional WFIRST Microlensing Survey Field

open access: yes, 2019
We present the analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-1670, detected in a high-extinction field, very close to the Galactic plane. Due to the dust extinction along the line of sight, this event was too faint to be detected before it reached the

KMT-2023-BLG-2669: Ninth Free-floating Planet Candidate with θ E Measurements

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We report a free-floating planet (FFP) candidate identified from the analysis of the microlensing event KMT-2023-BLG-2669. The lensing light curve is characterized by a short duration (≲3 days) and a small amplitude (≲0.7 mag). From the analysis, we find

Evaluation and Demonstration of the Principle and Results for Different Planet Searching and Detection Schemes

open access: yesHighlights in Science Engineering and Technology
As a matter of fact, exoplanets searching are crucial for human beings for not only searching for new habitats but also for understanding of celestial evolution. In retrospect, the field of exoplanet detection officially initiated in 1992, when the first

Super-Earths: A New Class of Planetary Bodies

open access: yes, 2011
Super-Earths, a class of planetary bodies with masses ranging from a few Earth-masses to slightly smaller than Uranus, have recently found a special place in the exoplanetary science.

Mass Production of 2023 KMTNet Microlensing Planets. II. Two Planets and A Brown Dwarf

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
To expand the homogeneous microlensing planetary sample of the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet), we investigate six planetary candidates identified by the AnomalyFinder search in the 2023 prime-field data, namely KMT-2023-BLG-1592, OGLE-2023-

KMT-2025-BLG-1616Lb: First Microlensing Bound Planet From DREAMS

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We present observations and analysis of the bound planetary microlensing event KMT-2025-BLG-1616. The planetary signal was captured by the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network and the Dark Energy Camera Rogue Earths and Mars Survey (DREAMS).

Towards A Census of Earth-mass Exo-planets with Gravitational Microlensing

open access: yes, 2008
Thirteen exo-planets have been discovered using the gravitational microlensing technique (out of which 7 have been published). These planets already demonstrate that super-Earths (with mass up to ~10 Earth masses) beyond the snow line are common and ...
