OGLE-2014-BLG-1760: A Jupiter–Sun Analogue Residing in the Galactic Bulge

Abstract We present the analysis of OGLE-2014-BLG-1760, a planetary system in the galactic bulge. We combine Keck Adaptive Optics follow-up observations in K -band with re-reduced light-curve data to confirm the source and lens star identifications and stellar types. The re-reduced Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics data set had an important impact on the light-curve model. We find the Einstein ring crossing time of the event to be ∼2.5 days shorter than previous fits, which increases the planetary mass-ratio and decreases the source angular size by a factor of 0.25. Our OSIRIS images obtained 6 yr after the peak of the event show a source-lens separation of 54.20 ± 0.23 mas, which leads to a relative proper motion of μ rel = 9.14 ± 0.05 mas yr −1 and is larger than the previous light-curve-only models. Our analysis shows that the event consists of a Jupiter-mass planet of M p = 0.931 ± 0.117 M Jup orbiting a K-dwarf star of M * = 0.803 ± 0.097 M ⊙ with a K -magnitude of K L = 18.30 ± 0.05, located in the galactic bulge or bar. We also attempt to constrain the source properties using the source angular size θ * and K -magnitude. Our results favor the scenario of the source being a younger star in the galactic disk, behind the galactic bulge, but future multicolor observations are needed to constrain the source and thus the lens properties.

Abstract

Abstract We present the analysis of OGLE-2014-BLG-1760, a planetary system in the galactic bulge. We combine Keck Adaptive Optics follow-up observations in K -band with re-reduced light-curve data to confirm the source and lens star identifications and stellar types. The re-reduced Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics data set had an important impact on the light-curve model. We find the Einstein ring crossing time of the event to be ∼2.5 days shorter than previous fits, which increases the planetary mass-ratio and decreases the source angular size by a factor of 0.25. Our OSIRIS images obtained 6 yr after the peak of the event show a source-lens separation of 54.20 ± 0.23 mas, which leads to a relative proper motion of μ rel = 9.14 ± 0.05 mas yr −1 and is larger than the previous light-curve-only models. Our analysis shows that the event consists of a Jupiter-mass planet of M p = 0.931 ± 0.117 M Jup orbiting a K-dwarf star of M * = 0.803 ± 0.097 M ⊙ with a K -magnitude of K L = 18.30 ± 0.05, located in the galactic bulge or bar. We also attempt to constrain the source properties using the source angular size θ * and K -magnitude. Our results favor the scenario of the source being a younger star in the galactic disk, behind the galactic bulge, but future multicolor observations are needed to constrain the source and thus the lens properties.
