We report the discovery of a sub-Jupiter mass planet orbiting beyond the snow line of an M-dwarf most likely in the Galactic disk as part of the joint Spitzer and ground-based monitoring of microlensing planetary anomalies toward the Galactic bulge. The microlensing parameters are strongly constrained by the light curve modeling and in particular by the Spitzer-based measurement of the microlens parallax, $pi_mathrm{E}$. However, in contrast to many planetary microlensing events, there are no caustic crossings, so the angular Einstein radius, $theta_mathrm{E}$ has only an upper limit based on the light curve modeling alone. Additionally, the analysis leads us to identify 8 degenerate configurations: the four-fold microlensing parallax degeneracy being doubled by a degeneracy in the caustic structure present at the level of the ground-based solutions. To pinpoint the physical parameters, and at the same time to break the parallax degeneracy, we make use of a series of arguments: the $chi^2$ hierarchy, the Rich argument, and a prior Galactic model. The preferred configuration is for a host at $D_L=3.73_{-0.67}^{+0.66}~mathrm{kpc}$ with mass $M_mathrm{L}=0.30_{-0.12}^{+0.15}~mathrm{M_odot}$, orbited by a Saturn-like planet with $M_mathrm{planet}=0.43_{-0.17}^{+0.21}~mathrm{M_mathrm{Jup}}$ at projected separation $a_perp = 1.70_{-0.39}^{+0.38}~mathrm{au}$, about 2.1 times beyond the system snow line. Therefore, it adds to the growing population of sub-Jupiter planets orbiting near or beyond the snow line of M-dwarfs discovered by microlensing. Based on the rules of the real-time protocol for the selection of events to be followed up with Spitzer, this planet will not enter the sample for measuring the Galactic distribution of planets.

We report the discovery of a Jupiter-mass planet orbiting an M-dwarf star that gave rise to the microlensing event OGLE-2011-BLG-0265. Such a system is very rare among known planetary systems and thus the discovery is important for theoretical studie
s of planetary formation and evolution. High-cadence temporal coverage of the planetary signal combined with extended observations throughout the event allows us to accurately model the observed light curve. The final microlensing solution remains, however, degenerate yielding two possible configurations of the planet and the host star. In the case of the preferred solution, the mass of the planet is $M_{rm p} = 0.9pm 0.3 M_{rm J}$, and the planet is orbiting a star with a mass $M = 0.22pm 0.06 M_odot$. The second possible configuration (2$sigma$ away) consists of a planet with $M_{rm p}=0.6pm 0.3 M_{rm J}$ and host star with $M=0.14pm 0.06 M_odot$. The system is located in the Galactic disk 3 -- 4 kpc towards the Galactic bulge. In both cases, with an orbit size of 1.5 -- 2.0 AU, the planet is a cold Jupiter -- located well beyond the snow line of the host star. Currently available data make the secure selection of the correct solution difficult, but there are prospects for lifting the degeneracy with additional follow-up observations in the future, when the lens and source star separate.
We report the discovery and analysis of the planetary microlensing event OGLE-2017-BLG-0406, which was observed both from the ground and by the ${it Spitzer}$ satellite in a solar orbit. At high magnification, the anomaly in the light curve was dense
ly observed by ground-based-survey and follow-up groups, and it was found to be explained by a planetary lens with a planet/host mass ratio of $q=7.0 times 10^{-4}$ from the light-curve modeling. The ground-only and ${it Spitzer}$-only data each provide very strong one-dimensional (1-D) constraints on the 2-D microlens parallax vector $bf{pi_{rm E}}$. When combined, these yield a precise measurement of $bf{pi_{rm E}}$, and so of the masses of the host $M_{rm host}=0.56pm0.07,M_odot$ and planet $M_{rm planet} = 0.41 pm 0.05,M_{rm Jup}$. The system lies at a distance $D_{rm L}=5.2 pm 0.5 {rm kpc}$ from the Sun toward the Galactic bulge, and the host is more likely to be a disk population star according to the kinematics of the lens. The projected separation of the planet from the host is $a_{perp} = 3.5 pm 0.3 {rm au}$, i.e., just over twice the snow line. The Galactic-disk kinematics are established in part from a precise measurement of the source proper motion based on OGLE-IV data. By contrast, the ${it Gaia}$ proper-motion measurement of the source suffers from a catastrophic $10,sigma$ error.
We report the discovery of a $Spitzer$ microlensing planet OGLE-2018-BLG-0596Lb, with preferred planet-host mass ratio $q sim 2times10^{-4}$. The planetary signal, which is characterized by a short $(sim 1~{rm day})$ bump on the rising side of the le
nsing light curve, was densely covered by ground-based surveys. We find that the signal can be explained by a bright source that fully envelops the planetary caustic, i.e., a Hollywood geometry. Combined with the source proper motion measured from $Gaia$, the $Spitzer$ satellite parallax measurement makes it possible to precisely constrain the lens physical parameters. The preferred solution, in which the planet perturbs the minor image due to lensing by the host, yields a Uranus-mass planet with a mass of $M_{rm p} = 13.9pm1.6~M_{oplus}$ orbiting a mid M-dwarf with a mass of $M_{rm h} = 0.23pm0.03~M_{odot}$. There is also a second possible solution that is substantially disfavored but cannot be ruled out, for which the planet perturbs the major image. The latter solution yields $M_{rm p} = 1.2pm0.2~M_{oplus}$ and $M_{rm h} = 0.15pm0.02~M_{odot}$. By combining the microlensing and $Gaia$ data together with a Galactic model, we find in either case that the lens lies on the near side of the Galactic bulge at a distance $D_{rm L} sim 6pm1~{rm kpc}$. Future adaptive optics observations may decisively resolve the major image/minor image degeneracy.
We present adaptive optics imaging from the NIRC2 instrument on the Keck-2 telescope that resolves the exoplanet host (and lens) star as it separates from the brighter source star. These observations yield the $K$-band brightness of the lens and plan
etary host star, as well as the lens-source relative proper motion, $mu_{rm rel,H}$. in the heliocentric reference frame. The $mu_{rm rel,H}$ measurement allows determination of the microlensing parallax vector, $pi_E$, which had only a single component determined by the microlensing light curve. The combined measurements of $mu_{rm rel,H}$ and $K_L$ provide the masses of the host stat, $M_{rm host} = 0.426pm 0.037 M_odot$, and planet, $m_p = 3.27 pm 0.32 M_{rm Jup}$ with a projected separation of $3.4pm 0.5,$AU. This confirms the tentative conclusion of a previous paper (Dong et al. 2009) that this super-Jupiter mass planet, OGLE-2005-BLG-071Lb, orbits an M-dwarf. Such planets are predicted to be rare by the core accretion theory and have been difficult to find with other methods, but there are two such planets with firm mass measurements from microlensing, and an additional 11 planetary microlens events with host mass estimates $< 0.5M_odot$ and planet mass estimates $> 2$ Jupiter masses that could be confirmed by high angular follow-up observations. We also point out that OGLE-2005-BLG-071L has separated far enough from its host star that it should be possible to measure the host star metallicity withspectra from a high angular resolution telescope such as Keck, the VLT, the Hubble Space Telescope or the James Webb Space Telescope.
We present an analysis of microlensing event OGLE-2016-BLG-0693, based on the survey-only microlensing observations by the OGLE and KMTNet groups. In order to analyze the light curve, we consider the effects of parallax, orbital motion, and baseline
slope, and also refine the result using a Galactic model prior. From the microlensing analysis, we find that the event is a binary composed of a low-mass brown dwarf 49+-20 M_J companion and a K- or G-dwarf host, which lies at a distance 5.0+-0.6 kpc toward the Galactic bulge. The projected separation between the brown dwarf and its host star is less than 5 AU, and thus it is likely that the brown dwarf companion is located in the brown dwarf desert.
