Journal ArticleDOI

Kailash C. Sahu,Jay Anderson,Stefano Casertano,Howard E. Bond,Pierre Bergeron,Edmund P. Nelan,Laurent Pueyo,Thomas M. Brown,Andrea Bellini,Zoltan G. Levay,Joshua Sokol,Martin Dominik,Annalisa Calamida,N. Kains,Mario Livio +14 more
TL;DR: The Hubble Space Telescope is used to measure the analogous process of astrometric microlensing caused by a nearby star: a nearby white dwarf called Stein 2051 B, which passed close in front of a more distant normal star and allowed the authors to determine the mass of the white dwarf.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a Bayesian approach to investigate the ephemeris for possible signs of transit timing variations (TTVs) using a high-precision photometric transitobservations of the transiting super-Earth planet GJ 1214 b.
Journal ArticleDOI
Planet observations of microlensing event OGLE-1999-BUL-23: Limb-darkening measurement of the source star
Michael D. Albrow,Jin H. An,J.-P. Beaulieu,J. A. R. Caldwell,Darren L. DePoy,Martin Dominik,B. S. Gaudi,Andrew Gould,J. G. Greenhill,K. M. Hill,Stephen R. Kane,R. Martin,J. W. Menzies,Richard W. Pogge,K. R. Pollard,Penny D. Sackett,Kailash C. Sahu,P. Vermaak,R. D. Watson,Andrew Williams +19 more
TL;DR: The OGLE-1999-BUL-23 binary-lens microlensing event toward the Galactic bulge was studied in this article, where a densely sampled second caustic crossing was used to derive linear limb-darkening coefficients of the source star.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stochastic distributions of lens and source properties for observed galactic microlensing events
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived probability densities of physical properties characterizing the lens and source that constitute an observed galactic microlensing event using given model distributions of the mass spectrum, the mass density, and the velocity distribution of the Galactic disc and bulge constituents.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a fully-deterministic strategy realized by means of the ARTEMiS (Automated Robotic Terrestrial Exoplanet Microlensing Search) system at the Danish 1.54m telescope at ESO La Silla between June and August 2008 as part of the MiNDSTEp (Microlensing Network for the Detection of Small Terrestrial exoplanets) campaign, making use of immediate feedback on suspected anomalies recognized by the SIGNALMEN anomaly detector.
