    Abstract
    We present new ground-based, multi-colour, broad-band photometric measurements of the physical parameters, transmission and emission spectra of the transiting extrasolar planet WASP-19b. The measurements are based on observations of eight transits and four occultations through a Gunn i filter using the 1.54-m Danish Telescope, 14 transits through an Rc filter at the Perth Exoplanet SurveyTelescope (PEST) observatory and one transit observed simultaneously through four optical (Sloan g', r', i', z') and three near-infrared (J,H,K) filters, using the Gamma Ray Burst Optical and Near-Infrared Detector (GROND) instrument on the MPG/ESO 2.2-m telescope. The GROND optical light curves have a...

    Abstract
    We report the discovery of a cold Super-Earth planet (mp = 4.4 ± 0.5 M) orbiting a lowmass (M = 0.23 ± 0.03 M) M dwarf at projected separation a = 1.18 ± 0.10 a.u., i.e., about 1.9 times the distance the snow line. The system is quite nearby for a microlensing planet, DL = 0.86 ± 0.09 kpc. Indeed, it was the large lens-source relative parallax πrel = 1.0 mas (combined with the low mass M) that gave rise to the large, and thus well-measured, "microlens parallax πE ∞ (πrel/M)1/2 that enabled these precise measurements. OGLE-2017-BLG-1434Lb is the eighth microlensing planet with planet-host mass ratio q < 1×10-4. We apply a new planet-detection sensitivity method, which is a variant of "V/Vmax,...
