Two Jupiter-mass Planets Discovered by the KMTNet Survey in 2017

We report two microlensing events, KMT-2017-BLG-1038 and KMT-2017-BLG-1146, that are caused by planetary systems. These events were discovered by Korea Microlensing Telescope Network survey observations from the 2017 bulge season. The discovered systems consist of a planet and host star with mass ra...

Zusammenfassung:We report two microlensing events, KMT-2017-BLG-1038 and KMT-2017-BLG-1146, that are caused by planetary systems. These events were discovered by Korea Microlensing Telescope Network survey observations from the 2017 bulge season. The discovered systems consist of a planet and host star with mass ratios of and , respectively. Based on a Bayesian analysis assuming a Galactic model without stellar remnant hosts, we find that the planet KMT-2017-BLG-1038Lb is a super-Jupiter-mass planet ( ) orbiting a mid-M dwarf host ( ) that is located at kpc toward the Galactic bulge. The other planet, KMT-2017-BLG-1146Lb, is a sub-Jupiter-mass planet ( ) orbiting a mid-M dwarf host ( ) at a distance of kpc toward the Galactic bulge. Both are potentially gaseous planets that are beyond their hosts' snow lines. These typical microlensing planets will be routinely discovered by second-generation microlensing surveys, rapidly increasing the number of detections.
