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 MOA dataset had an important impact on the light curve model. We find the Einstein ring crossing time of the event to be $\sim$ 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 years after the peak of the event show a source-lens separation of 54.20 $\pm$ 0.23 mas, which leads to a relative proper motion of $\mu_{\rm rel}$ = 9.14 $\pm$ 0.05 mas/yr, larger than the previous light curve-only models. Our analysis shows that the event consists of a Jupiter-mass planet of $M_{\rm p}$ = 0.931 $\pm$ 0.117 $M_{\rm Jup}$ orbiting a K-dwarf star of $M_*$ = 0.803 $\pm$ 0.097 $M_{\odot}$ with a $K$-magnitude of $K_{\rm L}$ = 18.30 $\pm$ 0.05, located in the galactic bulge or bar. We also attempt to constrain the source properties using the source angular size $\theta_*$ and $K$-magnitude. Our results favor the scenario of the source being a younger star in the galactic disk, behind the galactic center, but future multicolor observations are needed to constrain the source and thus the lens properties.
