摘要:

我们提出了第一个短期候选人微透镜事件从开普勒K2任务。从2016年4月下旬到7月上旬,K2的第9次战役在银河系隆起的3.7平方度区域获得了高时间节奏的观测。其主要目标是利用微透镜寻找自由浮动行星群的证据,并证明天基行星微透镜勘测的可行性。虽然开普勒K2远不是微透镜的最佳选择,但最近开发的MCPM光度管道使我们能够识别和建模微透镜事件。我们详细描述了我们的盲事件选择管道,并使用它来恢复22个短持续时间的事件,有效的时间尺度小于10天之前宣布的OGLE和KMTNet地面调查。我们还宣布了五个新的候选事件。其中之一是一个焦散性交叉双星事件,与一个束缚行星一致,并在同伴研究中建模。其他四个的持续时间非常短(有效时间尺度小于0.1天),这是地球质量的FFP种群的典型特征。虽然开普勒不是为拥挤场测光设计的,但K2C9数据集清楚地表明了对银河系凸起进行盲空基微透镜调查的可行性。

英文摘要:

We present the first short-duration candidate microlensing events from the Kepler K2 mission. From late April to early July 2016, Campaign 9 of K2 obtained high temporal cadence observations over a 3.7 square degree region of the Galactic bulge. Its primary objectives were to look for evidence of a free-floating planet (FFP) population using microlensing, and demonstrate the feasibility of space-based planetary microlensing surveys. Though Kepler K2 is far from optimal for microlensing, the recently developed MCPM photometric pipeline enables us to identify and model microlensing events. We describe our blind event-selection pipeline in detail and use it to recover 22 short-duration events with effective timescales of less than 10 days previously announced by the OGLE and KMTNet ground-based surveys. We also announce five new candidate events. One of these is a caustic-crossing binary event, consistent with a bound planet and modelled as such in a companion study. The other four have very short durations (effective timescales less than 0.1 days) typical of an Earth-mass FFP population. Whilst Kepler was not designed for crowded-field photometry, the K2C9 dataset clearly demonstrates the feasibility of conducting blind space-based microlensing surveys towards the Galactic bulge.
