چکیده
We present the first short-duration candidate microlensing events from Kepler K2 mission. From late April to early July 2016, Campaign 9 of obtained high temporal cadence observations over a 3.7 square degree region Galactic bulge. Its primary objectives were look for evidence free-floating planet (FFP) population using microlensing, and demonstrate feasibility space-based planetary surveys. Though is far optimal recently developed MCPM photometric pipeline enables us identify model events. describe our blind event-selection in detail use it recover 22 with effective timescales less than 10 days previously announced by OGLE KMTNet ground-based also announce five new One these caustic-crossing binary event, consistent bound modelled as such companion study. The other four have very short durations (effective 0.1 days) typical an Earth-mass FFP population. Whilst was not designed crowded-field photometry, K2C9 dataset clearly demonstrates conducting surveys towards

First microlensing candidate towards M31 from the Nainital Microlensing Survey
We report our first microlensing candidate NMS-E1 towards M31 from the data accumulated during the four years of Nainital Microlensing Survey. Cousin R and I band observations of ∼ 13 ′ × 13 ′ field in the direction of M31 have been carried out since 1998 and data is analysed using the pixel technique proposed by the AGAPE collaboration. NMS-E1 lies in the disk of M31 at α = 04333.3 and δ = +41...

متن کاملThe MACHO Project: 45 Candidate Microlensing Events from the First Year Galactic Bulge Data
We report the detection of 45 candidate microlensing events in fields toward the Galactic bulge. These come from the analysis of 24 fields containing 12.6 million stars observed for 190 days in 1993. Many of these events are of extremely high signal to noise and are remarkable examples of gravitational microlensing. The distribution of peak magnifications is shown to be consistent with the micr...
متن کاملCandidate Microlensing Events from M31 Observations with the Loiano Telescope
Microlensing observations towards M31 are a powerful tool for the study of the dark matter population in the form of MACHOs both in the Galaxy and the M31 halos, a still unresolved issue, as well as for the analysis of the characteristics of the M31 luminous populations. In this work we present the second year results of our pixel lensing campaign carried out towards M31 using the 152 cm Cassin...
متن کاملCandidate Gravitational Microlensing Events for Future Direct Lens Imaging
The mass of the lenses giving rise to Galactic microlensing events can be constrained by measuring the relative lens-source proper motion and lens flux. The flux of the lens can be separated from that of the source, companions to the source, and unrelated nearby stars with high-resolution images taken when the lens and source are spatially resolved. For typical ground-based adaptive optics (AO)...
