THE EXOPLANET MASS-RATIO FUNCTION FROM THE MOA-II SURVEY: DISCOVERY OF A BREAK AND LIKELY PEAK AT A NEPTUNE MASS

ABSTRACT We report the results of the statistical analysis of planetary signals discovered in MOA-II microlensing survey alert system events from 2007 to 2012. We determine the survey sensitivity as a function of planet–star mass ratio, q , and projected planet–star separation, s , in Einstein radius units. We find …
