Abstract (from CDS):

We report the light-curve analysis for the event MOA-2020-BLG-135, which leads to the discovery of a new Neptune-class planet, MOA-2020-BLG-135Lb. With a derived mass ratio of q={1.52}_{-0.31}^{+0.39}\times {10}^{-4} and separation s ≃ 1, the planet lies exactly at the break and likely peak of the exoplanet mass-ratio function derived by the Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics (MOA) Collaboration. We estimate the properties of the lens system based on a Galactic model and considering two different Bayesian priors: one assuming that all stars have an equal planet-hosting probability and the other that planets are more likely to orbit more-massive stars. With a uniform host mass prior, we predict that the lens system is likely to be a planet of mass {m}_{\mathrm{planet}}={11.3}_{-6.9}^{+19.2}{M}_{\oplus } and a host star of mass {M}_{\mathrm{host}}={0.23}_{-0.14}^{+0.39}{M}_{\odot }, located at a distance {D}_{L}={7.9}_{-1.0}^{+1.0}\ \mathrm{kpc}. With a prior that holds that planet occurrence scales in proportion to the host-star mass, the estimated lens system properties are {m}_{\mathrm{planet}}={25}_{-15}^{+22}{M}_{\oplus }, {M}_{\mathrm{host}}={0.53}_{-0.32}^{+0.42}{M}_{\odot }, and {D}_{L}={8.3}_{-1.0}^{+0.9}\ \mathrm{kpc}. This planet qualifies for inclusion in the extended MOA-II exoplanet microlens sample.
