I presume your own audience is fellow academics because, in all honesty, I do not believe that ordinary people will understand jargon such as: "the 2-sigma limits on the mass ratio and the finite source measurements are weak" and "Nevertheless, the microlensing parallax signal clearly favors a sub-stellar mass planetary host". Fortunately this means there will always be work for journalists who can translate the jargon, so I will not complain!Paul Sutherlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08677223411309476678noreply@blogger.com
