Abstract
We report two microlensing events, KMT-2017-BLG-1038 and KMT-2017-BLG-1146 that are caused by planetary systems. These events were discovered by KMTNet survey observations from the 2017 bulge season. The discovered systems consist of a planet and host star with mass ratios, 5.3^(+0.2)_(−0.4)×10^(−3) and 2.0^(+0.6)_(−0.1)×10^(−3), respectively. Based on a Bayesian analysis assuming a Galactic model without stellar remnant hosts, we find that the planet, KMT-2017-BLG-1038Lb, is a super Jupiter-mass planet (M_p = 2.04^(+2.02)_(−1.15)M_J) orbiting a mid-M dwarf host (M_h = 0.37^(+0.36)_(−0.20)M⊙) that is located at 6.01^(+1.27)_(−1.72) kpc toward the Galactic bulge. The other planet, KMT-2017-BLG-1146Lb, is a sub Jupiter-mass planet (M_p = 0.71^(+0.80)_(−0.42)M_J) orbiting a mid-M dwarf host (M_h = 0.33^(+0.36)_(−0.20)M⊙) at a distance toward the Galactic bulge of 6.50^(+1.38)_(−2.00) kpc. Both are potentially gaseous planets that are beyond their hosts' snow lines. These typical microlensing planets will be routinely discovered by second-generation microlensing surveys, rapidly increasing the number of detections.
