We present an R=45,000 Keck spectrum of the microlensed Galactic bulge G-dwarf OGLE-2006-BLG-265, which has a high (~60) signal-to-noise ratio despite its short (15 min) exposure time because the source was magnified by A~135. While it is very metal-rich ([Fe/H]=0.56), the higher temperature of this star compared with the luminous red giants usually measured in the bulge gives its spectrum many unblended atomic lines. We measure the abundances of 17 elements, including the first abundances for S and Cu in a bulge star. The [alpha/Fe] ratios are subsolar, while the odd-Z elements are slightly supersolar, trends that are also seen in the more metal-rich stars in the bulge and the local Galactic disk. Because the star is a dwarf, the [O/Fe], [Na/Fe], and [Al/Fe] ratios cannot be attributed to internal mixing, as is sometimes claimed for giants. Similar high-resolution spectra could be obtained for about a dozen bulge dwarf stars per year by means of well-designed target-of-opportunity observations.

We analyze a high-resolution spectrum of a microlensed G-dwarf in the Galactic bulge, acquired when the star was magnified by a factor of 110. We measure a spectroscopic temperature, derived from the wings of the Balmer lines, that is the same as the
photometric temperature, derived using the color determined by standard microlensing techniques. We measure [Fe/H]=0.36 +/-0.18, which places this star at the upper end of the Bulge giant metallicity distribution. In particular, this star is more metal-rich than any bulge M giant with high-resolution abundances. We find that the abundance ratios of alpha and iron-peak elements are similar to those of Bulge giants with the same metallicity. For the first time, we measure the abundances of K and Zn for a star in the Bulge. The [K/Mg] ratio is similar to the value measured in the halo and the disk, suggesting that K production closely tracks alpha production. The [Cu/Fe] and [Zn/Fe] ratios support the theory that those elements are produced in Type II SNe, rather than Type Ia SNe. We also measured the first C and N abundances in the Bulge that have not been affected by first dredge-up. The [C/Fe] and [N/Fe] ratios are close to solar, in agreement with the hypothesis that giants experience only canonical mixing.
Measurements based on a large number of red giant stars suggest a broad metallicity distribution function (MDF) for the Galactic bulge, centered on [Fe/H]=-0.1. However, recently, a new opportunity emerged to utilize temporary flux amplification (by
factors of ~100 or more) of faint dwarf stars in the Bulge that are gravitationally lensed, making them observable with high-resolution spectrographs during a short observational window. Surprisingly, of the first 6 stars measured, 5 have [Fe/H]>+0.30, suggesting a highly skewed MDF, inconsistent with observations of giant stars. Here we present a detailed elemental abundance analysis of OGLE-2009-BLG-076S, based on a high-resolution spectrum obtained with the UVES spectrograph at the ESO Very Large Telescope. Our results indicate it is the most metal-poor dwarf star in the Bulge yet observed, with [Fe/H]=-0.76. Our results argue against a strong selection effect disfavoring metal-poor microlensed stars. It is possible that small number statistics is responsible for the giant/dwarf Bulge MDF discrepancy. Should this discrepancy survive when larger numbers of Bulge dwarf stars (soon to be available) are analyzed, it may require modification of our understanding of either Bulge formation models, or the behavior of metal-rich giant stars.
We report the discovery of a giant planet in the OGLE-2017-BLG-1522 microlensing event. The planetary perturbations were clearly identified by high-cadence survey experiments despite the relatively short event timescale of $t_{rm E} sim 7.5$ days. Th
e Einstein radius is unusually small, $theta_{rm E} = 0.065,$mas, implying that the lens system either has very low mass or lies much closer to the microlensed source than the Sun, or both. A Bayesian analysis yields component masses $(M_{rm host}, M_{rm planet})=(46_{-25}^{+79}, 0.75_{-0.40}^{+1.26})~M_{rm J}$ and source-lens distance $D_{rm LS} = 0.99_{-0.54}^{+0.91}~{rm kpc}$, implying that this is a brown-dwarf/Jupiter system that probably lies in the Galactic bulge, a location that is also consistent with the relatively low lens-source relative proper motion $mu = 3.2 pm 0.5~{rm mas}~{rm yr^{-1}}$. The projected companion-host separation is $0.59_{-0.11}^{+0.12}~{rm AU}$, indicating that the planet is placed beyond the snow line of the host, i.e., $a_{sl} sim 0.12~{rm AU}$. Planet formation scenarios combined with the small companion-host mass ratio $q sim 0.016$ and separation suggest that the companion could be the first discovery of a giant planet that formed in a protoplanetary disk around a brown dwarf host.
We report the analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-2018-BLG-0677. A small feature in the light curve of the event leads to the discovery that the lens is a star-planet system. Although there are two degenerate solutions that could not be distingui
shed for this event, both lead to a similar planet-host mass ratio. We perform a Bayesian analysis based on a Galactic model to obtain the properties of the system and find that the planet corresponds to a super-Earth/sub-Neptune with a mass $M_{mathrm{planet}} = {3.96}^{+5.88}_{-2.66}mathrm{M_oplus}$. The host star has a mass $ M_{mathrm{host}} = {0.12}^{+0.14}_{-0.08}mathrm{M_odot}$. The projected separation for the inner and outer solutions are ${0.63}^{+0.20}_{-0.17}$~AU and ${0.72}^{+0.23}_{-0.19}$~AU respectively. At $Deltachi^2=chi^2({rm 1L1S})-chi^2({rm 2L1S})=46$, this is by far the lowest $Deltachi^2$ for any securely-detected microlensing planet to date, a feature that is closely connected to the fact that it is detected primarily via a dip rather than a bump.
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 planets mass M_p= 13.4+-0.9 M_J places it right at the deuterium burning 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 the disks of their hosts) or failed stars (low mass objects formed by gas fragmentation). This question may ultimately be addressed by comparing disk and bulge/bar planets, which is a goal of the Spitzer microlens program. The host is a G dwarf M_host = 0.89+-0.07 M_sun and the planet has a semi-major axis a~2.0 AU. We use Kepler K2 Campaign 9 microlensing data to break the lens-mass degeneracy that generically impacts parallax solutions from Earth-Spitzer observations alone, which is the first successful application of this approach. The microlensing data, derived primarily from near-continuous, ultra-dense survey observations from OGLE, MOA, and three KMTNet telescopes, contain more orbital information than for any previous microlensing planet, but not quite enough to accurately specify the full orbit. However, these data do permit the first rigorous test of microlensing orbital-motion measurements, which are typically derived from data taken over <1% of an orbital period.
