Abstract (from CDS):

We report the analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-2018-BLG-0677. A small feature in the light curve of the event leads to the discovery that the lens is a star-planet system. Although there are two degenerate solutions that could not be distinguished for this event, both lead to a similar planet-host mass ratio. We perform a Bayesian analysis based on a Galactic model to obtain the properties of the system and find that the planet corresponds to a super-Earth/sub-Neptune with a mass of Mplanet=3.96–2.66+5.88M⊕. The host star has a mass of Mhost=0.12–0.08+0.14M☉. The projected separation for the inner and outer solutions are 0.63–0.17+0.20 au and 0.72–0.19+0.23 au respectively. At Δχ2=χ2(1L1S)-χ2(2L1S)=46, this is by far the lowest Δχ2 for any securely detected microlensing planet to date, a feature that is closely connected to the fact that it is detected primarily via a "dip" rather than a "bump."
