Abstract
We report the analysis of a planetary microlensing event AT2021uey. The event was observed outside the Galactic bulge and was alerted by both space- (Gaia) and ground-based (ZTF and ASAS-SN) surveys. From the observed data, we find that the lens system is located at a distance of1 kpc and comprises an M-dwarf host star of about half a solar mass, orbited by a Jupiter-like planet beyond the snowline. The source star could be a metal-poor giant located in the halo according to the spectral analyses and modelling. Hence, AT2021uey is a unique example ofthe binary-lens event outside the bulge that is offered by a disc-halo lens-source combination.
