Water in HD 209458b's atmosphere from 3.6 - 8 microns IRAC photometric observations in primary transit (2009)

Beaulieu, J. P., Kipping, D. M., Batista, V., Tinetti, G., Ribas, I., Carey, S., ...

The hot Jupiter HD 209458b was observed during primary transit at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8 and 8.0 microns using the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on the Spitzer Space Telescope. We detail here the procedures we...

Difference imaging photometry of blended gravitational microlensing events with a numerical kernel (2009)

Albrow, M. D., Horne, K., Bramich, D. M., Fouqué, P., Miller, V. R., ...

The numerical kernel approach to difference imaging has been implemented and applied to gravitational microlensing events observed by the PLANET collaboration. The effect of an error in the...

Mass measurement of a single unseen star and planetary detection efficiency for OGLE 2007-BLG-050 (2009)

Batista, V., Dong, Subo, Gould, A., Beaulieu, J. P., Cassan, A., Christie, G. W., ...

We analyze OGLE-2007-BLG-050, a high magnification microlensing event (A ~ 432) whose peak occurred on 2 May, 2007, with pronounced finite-source and parallax effects. We compute planet detection...

A systematic fitting scheme for caustic-crossing microlensing events (2009)

Kains, N., Cassan, A., Horne, K., Albrow, M. D., Dieters, S., Fouqué, P., ...

We outline a method for fitting binary-lens caustic-crossing microlensing events based on the alternative model parametrization proposed and detailed by Cassan. As an illustration of our methodology,...

A systematic fitting scheme for caustic-crossing microlensing events (2009)

Kains, N., Cassan, A., Horne, K., Albrow, M. D., Dieters, S., Fouque, P., ...

We outline a method for fitting binary-lens caustic-crossing microlensing events based on the alternative model parameterisation proposed and detailed in Cassan (2008). As an illustration of our...

Extreme Magnification Microlensing Event OGLE-2008-BLG-279: Strong Limits on Planetary Companions to the Lens Stars (2009)

Yee, JC, Udalski, A, Sumi, T, Dong, S, Kozlowski, S, Bird, JC, ...

We analyze the extreme high-magnification microlensing event OGLE-2008-BLG-279, which peaked at a maximum magnification of A ~ 1600 on 2008 May 30. The peak of this event exhibits both finite-source...

Interpretation of Strong Short-term Central Perturbations in the Light Curves of Moderate-Magnification Microlensing Events (2009)

Han, C, Hwang, KH, Kim, D, Udalski, A, Abe, F, Monard, LAB, ...

To improve the planet detection efficiency, current planetary microlensing experiments are focused on high magnificationevents searching for planetary signals near the peak of lensing light curves....

Towards A Census of Earth-mass Exo-planets with Gravitational Microlensing (2008)

Beaulieu, J. P., Kerins, E., Mao, S., Bennett, D., Cassan, A., Dieters, S., ...

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...

A Low-Mass Planet with a Possible Sub-Stellar-Mass Host in Microlensing Event MOA-2007-BLG-192 (2008)

Bennett, D. P., Bond, I. A., Udalski, A., Sumi, T., Abe, F., Fukui, A., ...

We report the detection of an extrasolar planet of mass ratio q ~ 2 x 10^(-4) in microlensing event MOA-2007-BLG-192. The best fit microlensing model shows both the microlensing parallax and finite...
