The OGLE - III planet detection efficiency from six years of microlensing observations ( 2003 – 2008 )
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use six years (2003–2008) of Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment-III microlensing observations to derive the survey detection efficiency for a range of planetary masses and projected distances from the host star. We perform an independent analysis of the microlensing light curves to extract the event parameters and compute the planet detection probability given the data. 2433 light curves satisfy our quality selection criteria and are retained for further processing. The aggregate of the detection probabilities over the range explored yields the expected number of microlensing planet detections. We employ a Galactic model to convert this distribution from dimensionless to physical units, α/au and M⊕. The survey sensitivity to small planets is highest in the range 1–4 au, shifting to slightly larger separations for more massive ones.

متن کاملMicrolensing search for extrasolar planets: observational strategy, discoveries and implications
Microlensing has proven to be a valuable tool to search for extrasolar planets of Jovianto Super-Earth-mass planets at orbits of a few AU. Since planetary signals are of very short duration, an intense and continuous monitoring is required. This is achieved by groundbased networks of telescopes (PLANET/RoboNET, μFUN) following up targets, which are identified as microlensing events by single de...
متن کاملMicrolensing limits on numbers and orbits of extra-solar planets from the 1998-2000 OGLE events
We analyze three years (1998-2000) of OGLE observations of microlensing events to place limits on the abundance of planets with a planet-to-star mass ratio q = 10 at distances∼ 1−4AU from their host stars, i.e. ‘cool Jupiters’. We fit a total of 145 events using a maximum likelihood fit that adjusts 6 parameters. Each data point on the lightcurve allows us to exclude planets close to the two im...
متن کاملThe abundance of galactic planets from OGLE - III 2002 microlensing data
From the 389 2002 OGLE-III observations of Galactic Bulge microlensing events we select 321 that are well described by a point-source point-lens lightcurve model. From this sample we identify n = 1 event, 2002-BLG-055, which we regard as a strong planetary lensing candidate, and another, 2002-BLG-140, which is a possible candidate. If each of the 321 lens stars has 1 planet with a mass ratio q ...
متن کاملPlanet Sensitivity from Combined Ground- and Space-based Microlensing Observations
To move one step forward toward a Galactic distribution of planets, we present the first planet sensitivity analysis for microlensing events with simultaneous observations from space and the ground. We present this analysis for two such events, OGLE-2014-BLG-0939 and OGLE-2014-BLG-0124, which both show substantial planet sensitivity even though neither of them reached high magnification. This s...
