Gravitational microlensing finds planets through their gravitational influence on the light
coming from a more distant background star. The presence of the planet is then inferred from …

Cold Jovian planets play an important role in sculpting the dynamical environment in which
inner terrestrial planets form. The core accretion model predicts that giant planets cannot …

In this paper, we review the astrophysical application of gravitational microlensing. After
introducing the history of gravitational lensing, we present the key equations and concept of …

Follow-up observations of high-magnification gravitational microlensing events can fully
exploit their intrinsic sensitivity to detect extrasolar planets, especially those with small mass …

We present the discovery of the first Neptune analog exoplanet or super-Earth with a
Neptune-like orbit, MOA-2013-BLG-605Lb. This planet has a mass similar to that of Neptune …

OGLE-2012-BLG-0563Lb: A SATURN-MASS PLANET AROUND AN M DWARF WITH THE
MASS CONSTRAINED BY SUBARU AO IMAGING - IOPscience Skip to content IOP Science …

We report on the first results from a large-scale observing campaign aiming to use
astrometric microlensing to detect and place limits on the mass of single objects, including …

We conduct the first microlensing simulation in the context of a planet formation model. The
planet population is taken from the Ida & Lin core accretion model for 0.3 M☉ stars. With …

We consider a sample of 31 exoplanetary systems detected by gravitational microlensing
and investigate whether or not the estimated distances to these systems conform to the …

Global 'second-generation'microlensing surveys aim to discover and characterize extrasolar
planets and their frequency, by means of round-the-clock high-cadence monitoring of a …
