概要 We report the discovery of a planet by the microlensing method,<br />
OGLE-2012-BLG-0724Lb. Although the duration of the planetary signal for this<br />
event was one of the shortest seen for a planetary event, the anomaly was well<br />
covered thanks to high cadence observations taken by the survey groups OGLE and<br />
MOA. By analyzing the light curve, this planetary system is found to have a<br />
mass ratio $q=(1.58\pm0.15)\times10^{-3}$. By conducting a Bayesian analysis,<br />
we estimate that the host star is an M-dwarf star with a mass of $M_{\rm<br />
L}=0.29_{-0.16}^{+0.33} \ M_{\odot}$ located at $D_{\rm L}=6.7_{-1.2}^{+1.1} \<br />
{\rm kpc}$ away from the Earth and the companion&#039;s mass is $m_{\rm<br />
P}=0.47_{-0.26}^{+0.54} \ M_{\rm Jup}$. The projected planet-host separation is<br />
$a_{\perp}=1.6_{-0.3}^{+0.4} \ {\rm AU}$. Because the lens-source relative<br />
proper motion is relatively high, future high resolution images would detect<br />
the lens host star and determine the lens properties uniquely. This system is<br />
likely a Saturn-mass exoplanet around an M-dwarf and such systems are commonly<br />
detected by gravitational microlensing. This adds an another example of a<br />
possible pileup of sub-Jupiters $(0.2 &lt; m_{\rm P}/M_{\rm Jup} &lt; 1)$ in contrast<br />
to a lack of Jupiters ($\sim 1 - 2 \ M_{\rm Jup}$) around M-dwarfs, supporting<br />
the prediction by core accretion models that Jupiter-mass or more massive<br />
planets are unlikely to form around M-dwarfs.
