Abstract
- We present the discovery of two planetary systems consisting of a Saturn-mass planet orbiting an M-dwarf, which were detected in faint microlensing events OGLE-2013-BLG-0132 and OGLE-2013-BLG-1721. The planetary anomalies were covered with high cadence by OGLE and MOA photometric surveys. The light curve modeling indicates that the planet-to-host mass ratios are $(5.15 \pm 0.28)\times 10^{-4}$ and $(13.18 \pm 0.72)\times 10^{-4}$, respectively. Both events were too short and too faint to measure a reliable parallax signal and hence the lens mass. We therefore used a Bayesian analysis to estimate the masses of both planets: $0.29^{+0.16}_{-0.13}\ M_{Jup}$ (OGLE-2013-BLG-0132Lb) and $0.64^{+0.35}_{-0.31}\ M_{Jup}$ (OGLE-2013-BLG-1721Lb). Thanks to a high relative proper motion, OGLE-2013-BLG-0132 is a promising candidate for the high-resolution imaging follow-up. Both planets belong to an increasing sample of sub-Jupiter-mass planets orbiting M-dwarfs beyond the snow line.<br />Comment: Accepted to AJ
