Abstract

We complete the analysis of planetary candidates found by the KMT AnomalyFinder for the 2017 prime fields that cover 13deg2\sim 13\,{\rm deg}^2. We report 3 unambiguous planets: OGLE-2017-BLG-0640, OGLE-2017-BLG-1275, and OGLE-2017-BLG-1237. The first two of these were not previously identified, while the last was not previously published due to technical complications induced by a nearby variable. We further report that a fourth anomalous event, the previously recognized OGLE-2017-BLG-1777, is very likely to be planetary, although its light curve requires unusually complex modeling because the lens and source both have orbiting companions. One of the 3 unambiguous planets, OGLE-2017-BLG-1275 is the first AnomalyFinder discovery that has a {\it Spitzer} microlens parallax measurement, πE0.045±0.015\pi_E \sim 0.045\pm0.015, implying that this planetary system almost certainly lies in the Galactic bulge. In the order listed, the four planetary events have planet-host mass ratios qq, and normalized projected separations ss, of (logq,s)(\log q,s) = (2.31,0.61)(-2.31,0.61), (2.06,0.63/1.09)(-2.06,0.63/1.09), (2.10,1.04)(-2.10,1.04), and (2.86,0.72)(-2.86,0.72). Combined with previously published events, the 2017 AnomalyFinder prime fields contain 11 unambiguous planets with well-measured qq and one very likely candidate, of which 3 are AnomalyFinder discoveries. In addition to these 12, there are three other unambiguous planets with large uncertainties in qq.
