Abstract (from CDS):

We report the discovery of KMT-2018-BLG-1990Lb, a Jovian planet (mp=0.57–0.25+0.79MJ) orbiting a late M dwarf (M=0.14–0.06+0.20M) at a distance of (DL=1.23–0.43+1.06kpc), and projected at 2.6 ± 0.6 times the snow line distance, i.e., asnow≡2.7au(M/M). This is the second Jovian planet discovered by the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) in its low-cadence (0.4 hr–1) fields, demonstrating that this population can be probed based on relatively low-cadence survey-only microlensing data. However, while many Jovian-planet microlensing events will not have caustic crossings (e.g., the previous case, KMT-2016-BLG-1397) and some that do will be well characterized by low-cadence survey observations (e.g., the current case), in general higher-cadence follow-up observations of the caustic crossings are preferable. Such follow-up observations require microlensing alerts, which KMTNet now provides.
