Characterizing microlensing planetary system OGLE-2014-BLG-0676Lb with adaptive optics imaging

We constrain the host-star flux of the microlensing planet OGLE-2014-BLG-0676Lb using adaptive optics (AO) images taken by the Magellan and Keck telescopes. We measure the flux of the light blended with the microlensed source to be K =…

First assessment of the binary lens OGLE-2015_BLG-0232

We present an analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-0232. This event is challenging to characterize for two reasons. First, the light curve is not well sampled during the caustic crossing due to the proximity of the full Moon…
