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 …

Over the past three decades, we have witnessed one of the great revolutions in our
understanding of the cosmos—the dawn of the Exoplanet Era. Where once we knew of just …

Studies, have shown that the remnants of destroyed planets and debris-disk planetesimals
can survive the volatile evolution of their host stars into white dwarfs,, but few intact planetary …

While grounded in the hard sciences of physics, chemistry, geology, and astronomy, as well
as well-accepted principles in the life sciences, astrobiology remains the most speculative of …

We report the results of the statistical analysis of planetary signals discovered in MOA-II
microlensing survey alert system events from 2007 to 2012. We determine the survey …

Exomoons represent an outstanding challenge in modern astronomy, with the potential to
provide rich insights into planet formation theory and habitability. In this work, we stack the …

We present Keck NIRC2 high angular resolution adaptive optics observations of the
microlensing event OGLE-2005-BLG-169Lb, taken 8.21 years after the discovery of this …

As the Kepler mission has done for hot exoplanets, the ESA Euclid and NASA Roman
missions have the potential to create a breakthrough in our understanding of the …

We report the complete statistical planetary sample from the prime fields (Γ≥ 2 h− 1) of the
2019 Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) microlensing survey. We develop …

In order to exhume the buried signatures of" missing planetary caustics" in Korea
Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) data, we conducted a systematic anomaly …
