Discovery of a cool planet of 5.5 Earth masses through gravitational microlensing

J. P. Beaulieu, +74 more
- 26 Jan 2006 - 
TL;DR: The detection of a cool, sub-Neptune-mass planets may be more common than gas giant planets, as predicted by the core accretion theory, and is suggested to name OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb, indicating a planetary mass companion to the lens star of the microlensing event.
Journal ArticleDOI

A COLD NEPTUNE-MASS PLANET OGLE-2007-BLG-368Lb: COLD NEPTUNES ARE COMMON

Takahiro Sumi, +107 more
TL;DR: The OGLE-2007-BLG-368Lb with a planet-star mass ratio of q = [9.5 ± 2.1] × 10^(-5] via gravitational microlensing was discovered in real-time thanks to the high cadence of the Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics survey and intensive followup observations.

A Cold Neptune-Mass Planet OGLE-2007-BLG-368Lb: Cold Neptunes Are Common

TL;DR: A Neptune-mass planet OGLE-2007-BLG-368Lb with a planet-star mass ratio of q=[9.5 +/- 2.1] x 10^{-5} via gravitational microlensing was discovered in real-time thanks to the high cadence of the MOA survey and intensive follow-up observations as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

OGLE-2005-BLG-071Lb, THE MOST MASSIVE M DWARF PLANETARY COMPANION?

Subo Dong, +87 more
TL;DR: The OGLE-2005-BLG-071Lb was discovered by microlensing and the first in a high-magnification event as discussed by the authors, and the second largest known planet.
Journal ArticleDOI

MOA-2009-BLG-387Lb: a massive planet orbiting an M dwarf

V. Batista, +148 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the discovery of a planet with a high planet-to-star mass ratio in the microlensing event MOA-2009-BLG-387, which exhibited pronounced deviations over a 12-day interval.
