Abstract (from CDS):

We analyze OGLE-2007-BLG-050, a high magnification microlensing event (A∼432) whose peak occurred on 2 May, 2007, with pronounced finite-source and parallax effects. We compute planet detection efficiencies for this event in order to determine its sensitivity to the presence of planets around the lens star. Both finite-source and parallax effects permit a measurement of the angular Einstein radius θ_E=0.48±0.01mas and the parallax π_E=0.12±0.03, leading to an estimate of the lens mass M=0.50±0.14M_☉ and its distance to the observer D_L=5.5±0.4kpc. This is only the second determination of a reasonably precise (<30%) mass estimate for an isolated unseen object, using any method. This allows us to calculate the planetary detection efficiency in physical units (r_{{perpendicular}},m_p), where r_{{perpendicular}} is the projected planet-star separation and m_p is the planet mass. When computing planet detection efficiency, we did not find any planetary signature, i.e. none of the planetary configurations provides a Δχ² improvement higher than 60, and our detection efficiency results reveal significant sensitivity to Neptune-mass planets, and to a lesser extent Earth-mass planets in some configurations. Indeed, Jupiter and Neptune-mass planets are excluded with a high confidence for a large projected separation range between the planet and the lens star, respectively [0.6-10] and [1.4-4]AU, and Earth-mass planets are excluded with a 10% confidence in the lensing zone, i.e. [1.8-3.1]AU.
