We present the analysis of the binary-lens microlensing event OGLE-2017-BLG-0537. The light curve of the event exhibits two strong caustic-crossing spikes among which the second caustic crossing was resolved by high-cadence surveys. It is found that the lens components with a mass ratio $sim 0.5$ are separated in projection by $sim 1.3thetae$, where $thetae$ is the angular Einstein radius. Analysis of the caustic-crossing part yields $thetae=1.77pm 0.16$~mas and a lens-source relative proper motion of $mu =12.4pm 1.1~{rm mas}~{rm yr}^{-1}$. The measured $mu$ is the third highest value among the events with measured proper motions and $sim 3$ times higher than the value of typical Galactic bulge events, making the event a strong candidate for follow-up observations to directly image the lens by separating it from the source. From the angular Einstein radius combined with the microlens parallax, it is estimated that the lens is composed of two main-sequence stars with masses $M_1sim 0.4~M_odot$ and $M_2sim 0.2~M_odot$ located at a distance of $D_{rm L}sim 1.2$~kpc. However, the physical lens parameters are not very secure due to the weak microlens-parallax signal, and thus we cross check the parameters by conducting a Bayesian analysis based on the measured Einstein radius and event timescale combined with the blending constraint. From this, we find that the physical parameters estimated from the Bayesian analysis are consistent with those based on the measured microlens parallax. Resolving the lens from the source can be done in about 5 years from high-resolution follow-up observations and this will provide a rare opportunity to test and refine the microlensing model.

We present the analysis of the caustic-crossing binary microlensing event OGLE-2017-BLG-0039. Thanks to the very long duration of the event, with an event time scale $t_{rm E}sim 130$ days, the microlens parallax is precisely measured despite its sma
ll value of $piesim 0.06$. The analysis of the well-resolved caustic crossings during both the source stars entrance and exit of the caustic yields the angular Einstein radius $thetaesim 0.6$~mas. The measured $pie$ and $thetae$ indicate that the lens is a binary composed of two stars with masses $sim 1.0~M_odot$ and $sim 0.15~M_odot$, and it is located at a distance of $sim 6$ kpc. From the color and brightness of the lens estimated from the determined lens mass and distance, it is expected that $sim 2/3$ of the $I$-band blended flux comes from the lens. Therefore, the event is a rare case of a bright lens event for which high-resolution follow-up observations can confirm the nature of the lens.
We report a giant exoplanet discovery in the microlensing event OGLE-2017-BLG-1049, which is a planet-host star mass ratio of $q=9.53pm0.39times10^{-3}$ and has a caustic crossing feature in the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) observati
ons. The caustic crossing feature yields an angular Einstein radius of $theta_{rm E}=0.52 pm 0.11 {rm mas}$. However, the microlens parallax is not measured because of the time scale of the event $t_{rm E}simeq 29 {rm days}$, which is not long enough in this case to determine the microlens parallax. Thus, we perform a Bayesian analysis to estimate physical quantities of the lens system. From this, we find that the lens system has a star with mass $M_{rm h}=0.55^{+0.36}_{-0.29} M_{odot}$ hosting a giant planet with $M_{rm p}=5.53^{+3.62}_{-2.87} M_{rm Jup}$, at a distance of $D_{rm L}=5.67^{+1.11}_{-1.52} {rm kpc}$. The projected star-planet separation in units of the Einstein radius $(theta_{rm E})$ corresponding to the total mass of the lens system is $a_{perp}=3.92^{+1.10}_{-1.32} rm{au}$. This means that the planet is located beyond the snow line of the host. The relative lens-source proper motion is $mu_{rm rel}sim 7 rm{mas yr^{-1}}$, thus the lens and source will be separated from each other within 10 years. Then the flux of the host star can be measured by a 30m class telescope with high-resolution imaging in the future, and thus its mass can be determined.
We present microlensing planet OGLE-2017-BLG-0173Lb, with planet-host mass ratio either $qsimeq 2.5times 10^{-5}$ or $qsimeq 6.5times 10^{-5}$, the lowest or among the lowest ever detected. The planetary perturbation is strongly detected, $Deltachi^2
sim 10,000$, because it arises from a bright (therefore, large) source passing over and enveloping the planetary caustic: a so-called Hollywood event. The factor $sim 2.5$ offset in $q$ arises because of a previously unrecognized discrete degeneracy between Hollywood events in which the caustic is fully enveloped and those in which only one flank is enveloped, which we dub Cannae and von Schlieffen, respectively. This degeneracy is accidental in that it arises from gaps in the data. Nevertheless, the fact that it appears in a $Deltachi^2=10,000$ planetary anomaly is striking. We present a simple formalism to estimate the sensitivity of other Hollywood events to planets and show that they can lead to detections close to, but perhaps not quite reaching, the Earth/Sun mass ratio of $3times 10^{-6}$. This formalism also enables an analytic understanding of the factor $sim 2.5$ offset in $q$ between the Cannae and von Schlieffen solutions. The Bayesian estimates for the host-mass, system distance, and planet-host projected separation are $M=0.39^{+0.40}_{-0.24},M_odot$, $D_L=4.8^{+1.5}_{-1.8},kpc$, and $a_perp=3.8pm 1.6,au$. The two estimates of the planet mass are $m_p=3.3^{+3.8}_{-2.1},M_oplus$ and $m_p=8^{+11}_{-6},M_oplus$. The measured lens-source relative proper motion $mu=6,masyr$ will permit imaging of the lens in about 15 years or at first light on adaptive-optics imagers on next-generation telescopes. These will allow to measure the host mass but probably cannot resolve the planet-host mass-ratio degeneracy.
Mass measurements of gravitational microlenses require one to determine the microlens parallax $pie$, but precise $pie$ measurement, in many cases, is hampered due to the subtlety of the microlens-parallax signal combined with the difficulty of disti
nguishing the signal from those induced by other higher-order effects. In this work, we present the analysis of the binary-lens event OGLE-2017-BLG-0329, for which $pie$ is measured with a dramatically improved precision using additional data from space-based $Spitzer$ observations. We find that while the parallax model based on the ground-based data cannot be distinguished from a zero-$pie$ model at 2$sigma$ level, the addition of the $Spitzer$ data enables us to identify 2 classes of solutions, each composed of a pair of solutions according to the well-known ecliptic degeneracy. It is found that the space-based data reduce the measurement uncertainties of the north and east components of the microlens-parallax vector $pivec_{rm E}$ by factors $sim 18$ and $sim 4$, respectively. With the measured microlens parallax combined with the angular Einstein radius measured from the resolved caustic crossings, we find that the lens is composed of a binary with components masses of either $(M_1,M_2)sim (1.1,0.8) M_odot$ or $sim (0.4,0.3) M_odot$ according to the two solution classes. The first solution is significantly favored but the second cannot be securely ruled out based on the microlensing data alone. However, the degeneracy can be resolved from adaptive optics observations taken $sim 10$ years after the event.
We analyze the gravitational binary-lensing event OGLE-2016-BLG-0156, for which the lensing light curve displays pronounced deviations induced by microlens-parallax effects. The light curve exhibits 3 distinctive widely-separated peaks and we find th
at the multiple-peak feature provides a very tight constraint on the microlens-parallax effect, enabling us to precisely measure the microlens parallax $pi_{rm E}$. All the peaks are densely and continuously covered from high-cadence survey observations using globally located telescopes and the analysis of the peaks leads to the precise measurement of the angular Einstein radius $theta_{rm E}$. From the combination of the measured $pi_{rm E}$ and $theta_{rm E}$, we determine the physical parameters of the lens. It is found that the lens is a binary composed of two M dwarfs with masses $M_1=0.18pm 0.01 M_odot$ and $M_2=0.16pm 0.01 M_odot$ located at a distance $D_{rm L}= 1.35pm 0.09 {rm kpc}$. According to the estimated lens mass and distance, the flux from the lens comprises an important fraction, $sim 25%$, of the blended flux. The bright nature of the lens combined with the high relative lens-source motion, $mu=6.94pm 0.50 {rm mas} {rm yr}^{-1}$, suggests that the lens can be directly observed from future high-resolution follow-up observations.
