HST pre-imaging of a free-floating planet candidate microlensing event
Astronomy & AstrophysicsHigh-cadence microlensing observations uncovered a population of very short-timescale microlensing events, which are believed to be caused by the population of free-floating planets (FFPs) roaming the Milky Way.Kapusta Mateusz, Mróz Przemek, Ryu Yoon-Hyun, Udalski Andrzej, Kozłowski Szymon, Terry Sean, Szymański Michał K., Soszyński Igor, Pietrukowicz Paweł, Poleski Radosław, Skowron Jan, Ulaczyk Krzysztof, Gromadzki Mariusz, Rybicki Krzysztof, Iwanek Patryk, Wrona Marcin, Mróz Mateusz J., Albrow Michael D., Chung Sun-Ju, Gould Andrew, Han Cheongho, Hwang Kyu-Ha, Jung Youn Kil, Shin In-Gu, Shvartzvald Yossi, Yee Jennifer C., Yang Hongjing, Zang Weicheng, Cha Sang-Mok, Kim Dong-Jin, Kim Seung-Lee, Lee Chung-Uk, Lee Dong-Joo, Lee Yongseok, Park Byeong-Gon, Pogge Richard W. +35 moredoaj +3 more sourcesOGLE-2016-BLG-1195 AO: Lens, Companion to Lens or Source, or None of the Above?
