The mass constraints are important to inform planet formation and evolution theories. I will discuss single microlensing planet for which satellite data from K2 Campaign 9 exist. The challenges posed by K2 bulge data reduction will be discussed. PRB 4138 Center for Cosmology and AstroParticle Physics (CCAPP) ccapp@osu.edu America/New_York public
