A free-floating or wide-orbit planet in the microlensing event OGLE-2019-BLG-0551

High-cadence observations of the Galactic bulge by the microlensing surveys led to the discovery of a handful of extremely short-timescale microlensing events that can be attributed to free-floating or wide-orbit planets. Here, we report…
