Exoplanet search with gravitational microlensing

, 2011
. Different regimes of gravitational lensing depend on lens masses and roughly correspond to angular distance between images. If a gravitational lens has a typical stellar mass, this regime is named microlensing because the typical angular distance ...

Parallax Effect in Microlensing Events Due to Free-floating Planets

The Astronomical Journal
One of the most important applications of microlensing observations is the detection of free-floating planets (FFPs). The timescale of microlensing due to FFPs ( t _E ) is short (a few days). Discerning the annual parallax effect in observations of these

Infrared-radio-follow-up observations for detection of the magnetic radio emission of extra solar planets: a new window to detect exoplanets

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
There are several methods for indirectly detecting exoplanets, such as transit, radial velocity, astrometry, and the conventional gravitational microlensing approach.

Exoplanets and brown dwarfs detections through gravitational microlensing. Study of interferometric observations

, 2015
L'effet de microlentille gravitationnelle est devenu un outil unique pour détecter des exoplanètes. Il se produit lorsqu'une étoile de premier plan (la microlentille) et une étoile d'arrière plan (la source) sont alignées avec la Terre. La lumière provenant de l'étoile la plus lointaine, souvent dans le bulbe galactique, est alors déviée par la ...

Predictions of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Galactic Exoplanet Survey. IV. Lens Mass and Distance Measurements

The Astronomical Journal
As part of the Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey (GBTDS), the Nancy Grace Roman Galactic Exoplanet Survey (RGES) will use microlensing to discover cold outer planets and free-floating planets not bound to stars.

Planet Mass Function around M Stars at 1–10 au: A Plethora of Sub-Earth Mass Objects

The Astrophysical Journal
Small planets (≲1 M _⊕ ) at intermediate orbital distances (∼1 au) represent an uncharted territory in exoplanetary science. The upcoming microlensing survey by the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will be sensitive to objects as light as Ganymede and ...
