OGLE-2017-BLG-1522: A giant planet around a brown dwarf located in the Galactic bulge

We report the discovery of a giant planet in the OGLE-2017-BLG-1522 microlensing event. The planetary perturbations were clearly identified by high-cadence survey experiments despite the relatively short event timescale of $t_{\rm E} \sim…
