| KMT-2022-BLG-2397: Brown Dwarf at the Upper Shore of the Einstein Deserthttps://arxiv.org/abs/2306.04870 - Quote :
- We measure the Einstein radius of the single-lens microlensing event KMT-2022-BLG-2397 to be theta_E=24.8 +- 3.6 uas, placing it at the upper shore of the Einstein Desert, 9 < theta_E / uas < 25, between free-floating planets (FFPs) and bulge brown dwarfs (BDs). In contrast to the six BD (25 < theta_E < 50) events presented by Gould+22, which all had giant-star source stars, KMT-2022-BLG-2397 has a dwarf-star source, with angular radius theta_* ~ 0.9 uas. This prompts us to study the relative utility of dwarf and giant sources for characterizing FFPs and BDs from finite-source point-lens (FSPL) microlensing events. We find `dwarfs' (including main-sequence stars and subgiants) are likely to yield twice as many theta_E measurements for BDs and a comparable (but more difficult to quantify) improvement for FFPs. We show that neither current nor planned experiments will yield complete mass measurements of isolated bulge BDs, nor will any other planned experiment yield as many theta_E measurements for these objects as KMT. Thus, the currently anticipated 10-year KMT survey will remain the best way to study bulge BDs for several decades to come.

| Systematic KMTNet Planetary Anomaly Search. X. Complete Sample of 2017 Prime-Field Planets - Quote :
- We complete the analysis of planetary candidates found by the KMT AnomalyFinder for the 2017 prime fields that cover ∼13deg2. We report 3 unambiguous planets: OGLE-2017-BLG-0640, OGLE-2017-BLG-1275, and OGLE-2017-BLG-1237. The first two of these were not previously identified, while the last was not previously published due to technical complications induced by a nearby variable. We further report that a fourth anomalous event, the previously recognized OGLE-2017-BLG-1777, is very likely to be planetary, although its light curve requires unusually complex modeling because the lens and source both have orbiting companions. One of the 3 unambiguous planets, OGLE-2017-BLG-1275 is the first AnomalyFinder discovery that has a {\it Spitzer} microlens parallax measurement, πE∼0.045±0.015, implying that this planetary system almost certainly lies in the Galactic bulge. In the order listed, the four planetary events have planet-host mass ratios q, and normalized projected separations s, of (logq,s) = (−2.31,0.61), (−2.06,0.63/1.09), (−2.10,1.04), and (−2.86,0.72). Combined with previously published events, the 2017 AnomalyFinder prime fields contain 11 unambiguous planets with well-measured q and one very likely candidate, of which 3 are AnomalyFinder discoveries. In addition to these 12, there are three other unambiguous planets with large uncertainties in q.

| OGLE-2019-BLG-0825: Constraints on the Source System and Effect on Binary-lens Parameters arising from a Five Day Xallarap Effect in a Candidate Planetary Microlensing Event - Quote :
- We present an analysis of microlensing event OGLE-2019-BLG-0825. This event was identified as a planetary candidate by preliminary modeling. We find that significant residuals from the best-fit static binary-lens model exist and a xallarap effect can fit the residuals very well and significantly improves χ2 values. On the other hand, by including the xallarap effect in our models, we find that binary-lens parameters like mass-ratio, q, and separation, s, cannot be constrained well. However, we also find that the parameters for the source system like the orbital period and semi major axis are consistent between all the models we analyzed. We therefore constrain the properties of the source system better than the properties of the lens system. The source system comprises a G-type main-sequence star orbited by a brown dwarf with a period of P∼5 days. This analysis is the first to demonstrate that the xallarap effect does affect binary-lens parameters in planetary events. It would not be common for the presence or absence of the xallarap effect to affect lens parameters in events with long orbital periods of the source system or events with transits to caustics, but in other cases, such as this event, the xallarap effect can affect binary-lens parameters.

| Halfway between "Gaia Results" and this topic, but I'm choosing the latter Gaia22dkvLb: A Microlensing Planet Potentially Accessible to Radial-Velocity Characterization - Quote :
- We report discovering an exoplanet from following up a microlensing event alerted by Gaia. The event Gaia22dkv is toward a nearby disk source at ~2.5 kpc rather than the traditional bulge microlensing fields. Our primary analysis yields a Jovian planet with M_p = 0.50 +/- 0.05 M_J at a projected orbital separation r_perp = 1.63 +/- 0.17 AU. The host is a turnoff star with mass 1.24 +/- 0.06 M_sun and distance of 1.35 +/- 0.09 kpc, and at r'~14, it is far brighter than any previously discovered microlensing planet host, opening up the opportunity of testing the microlensing model with radial velocity (RV) observations. RV data can be used to measure the planet's orbital period and eccentricity, and they also enable searching for inner planets of the microlensing cold Jupiter, as expected from the "inner-outer correlation" inferred from Kepler and RV discoveries. Furthermore, we show that Gaia astrometric microlensing will not only allow precise measurements of its angular Einstein radius theta_E, but also directly measure the microlens parallax vector and unambiguously break a geometric light-curve degeneracy, leading to definitive characterization of the lens system.
