Three anomalous microlensing events are re-modeled as binary-lens binary-source (2L2S) systems that resolve prior residuals, with source stars identified as G8V/M3V, G8V/K2V, and G6V/G8V pairs and lenses inferred as low-mass binaries via Bayesian methods.
Discovery of KSP-OT-202104a, a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova with P_sh ≈ 71.7 min likely below the period minimum and evolving toward AM CVn.
Three new planets detected via 2023 KMTNet microlensing with mass ratios log q ~ -1.9, -2.0, -2.6; overall 2023 sample of 25 planets matches prior mass-ratio distribution.
Analyses of ten microlensing events identify candidate brown dwarf companions in binary systems, with two events suggesting brown dwarf binaries.
Derived reliable rotation periods for 96 asteroids (84 new) from 2018 KMTNet data in one square degree field, projecting >5500 periods from full ~12 deg² dataset.
Mars provides a real-world case study of processes like volatile loss, climate evolution, and magnetism that determine habitability on small rocky planets at the edge of habitable conditions.
