Abstract (from CDS):

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 Korea Microlensing Telescope Network survey observations from the 2017 bulge season. The discovered systems consist of a planet and host star with mass ratios of 5.3–0.4+0.2×10–3 and 2.0–0.1+0.6×10–3, 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 (Mp=2.04–1.15+2.02MJ) orbiting a mid-M dwarf host (Mh=0.37–0.20+0.36M☉) that is located at 6.01–1.72+1.27 kpc toward the Galactic bulge. The other planet, KMT-2017-BLG-1146Lb, is a sub-Jupiter-mass planet (Mp=0.71–0.42+0.80MJ) orbiting a mid-M dwarf host (Mh=0.33–0.20+0.36M☉) at a distance of 6.50–2.00+1.38 kpc toward the Galactic bulge. 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.
