Abstract

We present the analysis of OGLE-2014-BLG-1760, a planetary system in the galactic bulge. We combine Keck Adaptive Optics follow-up observations in KK-band with re-reduced light curve data to confirm the source and lens star identifications and stellar types. The re-reduced MOA dataset had an important impact on the light curve model. We find the Einstein ring crossing time of the event to be \sim 2.5 days shorter than previous fits, which increases the planetary mass-ratio and decreases the source angular size by a factor of 0.25. Our OSIRIS images obtained 6 years after the peak of the event show a source-lens separation of 54.20 ±\pm 0.23 mas, which leads to a relative proper motion of μrel\mu_{\rm rel} = 9.14 ±\pm 0.05 mas/yr, larger than the previous light curve-only models. Our analysis shows that the event consists of a Jupiter-mass planet of MpM_{\rm p} = 0.931 ±\pm 0.117 MJupM_{\rm Jup} orbiting a K-dwarf star of MM_* = 0.803 ±\pm 0.097 MM_{\odot} with a KK-magnitude of KLK_{\rm L} = 18.30 ±\pm 0.05, located in the galactic bulge or bar. We also attempt to constrain the source properties using the source angular size θ\theta_* and KK-magnitude. Our results favor the scenario of the source being a younger star in the galactic disk, behind the galactic center, but future multicolor observations are needed to constrain the source and thus the lens properties.
