OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb: The First Spitzer Bulge Planet Lies Near the Planet/Brown-dwarf Boundary

Abstract: We report the discovery of OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb, which is likely to be the first Spitzer microlensing planet in the Galactic bulge/bar, an assignation that can be confirmed by two epochs of high-resolution imaging of the combined source-lens baseline object. The planet's mass, M p =13.4±0.9 M J , places it right at the deuteriumburning limit, i.e., the conventional boundary between "planets" and "brown dwarfs." Its existence raises the question of whether such objects are really "planets" (formed within th… Show more

“…The wide-field optical and infra-red telescopes on Mauna Kea (CFHT-MegaCam, CFHT-WIRCAM, Subaru-HyperSuprimeCam, and UKIRT-WFCAM) can therefore add significant value to the existing microlensing survey networks. This has been demonstrated by our data set's contribution to several planet discoveries in 2016 (Koshimoto et al 2017;Ryu et al 2018;Han et al 2017).…”

“…However, this requires the host star to be relatively bright and the planet to be fairly massive. If the planetary perturbation in the microlensing light curve persists for a significant fraction ( 10%) of the orbital period, then it becomes possible to constrain the full orbit (Ryu et al 2018). If the planet imposes prominent features (i.e., caustic crossing) in the light curve, from which its locations at certain epochs can be precisely determined, then a much shorter perturbation can still provide meaningful constraints on the full orbit (Gaudi et al 2008;Bennett et al 2010).…”
