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 densely 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 and the analysis of the short (tE < 5 days) planetary microlensing event, OGLE-2015-BLG-1771. The event was discovered by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE), and the planetary anomaly (at I ~ 19) was captured by The Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet). The event has three surviving planetary models that explain the observed light curves, with planet-host mass ratio q ~ 5.4 * 10^{-3}, 4.5 * 10^{-3} and 4.5 * 10^{-2}, respectively. The first model is the best-fit model, while the second model is disfavored by Deltachi^2 ~ 3. The last model is strongly disfavored by Deltachi^2 ~ 15 but not ruled out. A Bayesian analysis using a Galactic model indicates that the first two models are probably composed of a Saturn-mass planet orbiting a late M dwarf, while the third one could consist of a super-Jovian planet and a mid-mass brown dwarf. The source-lens relative proper motion is mu_rel ~ 9 mas/yr, so the source and lens could be resolved by current adaptive-optics (AO) instruments in 2021 if the lens is luminous.
We report the discovery and analysis of a sub-Saturn-mass planet in the microlensing event OGLE-2018-BLG-0799. The planetary signal was observed by several ground-based telescopes, and the planet-host mass ratio is $q = (2.65 pm 0.16) times 10^{-3}$. The ground-based observations yield a constraint on the angular Einstein radius $theta_{rm E}$, and the microlens parallax $pi_{rm E}$ is measured from the joint analysis of the Spitzer and ground-based observations, which suggests that the host star is most likely to be a very low-mass dwarf. A full Bayesian analysis using a Galactic model indicates that the planetary system is composed of an $M_{rm planet} = 0.22_{-0.06}^{+0.19}~M_{J}$ planet orbiting an $M_{rm host} = 0.080_{-0.020}^{+0.080}~M_odot$, at a distance of $D_{rm L} = 4.42_{-1.23}^{+1.73}$ kpc. The projected planet-host separation is $r_perp = 1.27_{-0.29}^{+0.45}$ AU, implying that the planet is located beyond the snowline of the host star. However, because of systematics in the Spitzer photometry, there is ambiguity in the parallax measurement, so the system could be more massive and farther away.
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 planet by the microlensing method, OGLE-2012-BLG-0724Lb. Although the duration of the planetary signal for this event was one of the shortest seen for a planetary event, the anomaly was well covered thanks to high cadence observations taken by the survey groups OGLE and MOA. By analyzing the light curve, this planetary system is found to have a mass ratio $q=(1.58pm0.15)times10^{-3}$. By conducting a Bayesian analysis, we estimate that the host star is an M-dwarf star with a mass of $M_{rm L}=0.29_{-0.16}^{+0.33} M_{odot}$ located at $D_{rm L}=6.7_{-1.2}^{+1.1} {rm kpc}$ away from the Earth and the companions mass is $m_{rm P}=0.47_{-0.26}^{+0.54} M_{rm Jup}$. The projected planet-host separation is $a_{perp}=1.6_{-0.3}^{+0.4} {rm AU}$. Because the lens-source relative proper motion is relatively high, future high resolution images would detect the lens host star and determine the lens properties uniquely. This system is likely a Saturn-mass exoplanet around an M-dwarf and such systems are commonly detected by gravitational microlensing. This adds an another example of a possible pileup of sub-Jupiters $(0.2 < m_{rm P}/M_{rm Jup} < 1)$ in contrast to a lack of Jupiters ($sim 1 - 2 M_{rm Jup}$) around M-dwarfs, supporting the prediction by core accretion models that Jupiter-mass or more massive planets are unlikely to form around M-dwarfs.
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.
