Abstract
Current microlensing surveys are sensitive to free-floating planets down to
Earth-mass objects. All published microlensing events attributed to unbound
planets were identified based on their short timescale (below 2 d), but lacked
an angular Einstein radius measurement (and hence lacked a significant
constraint on the lens mass). Here we present the discovery of a Neptune-mass
free-floating planet candidate in the ultrashort (
