The PLANET microlensing follow-up network: Results and prospects for the detection of extra-solar planets

M. Dominik, M. D. Albrow, J. -P. Beaulieu +19

Among various techniques to search for extra-solar planets, microlensing has some unique characteristics. Contrary to all other methods which favour nearby objects, microlensing is…

Detection of Rotation in a Binary Microlens: PLANET Photometry of MACHO 97-BLG-41

M. D. Albrow, J. -P. Beaulieu, J. A. R. Caldwell +17

We analyze PLANET collaboration data for MACHO 97-BLG-41, the only microlensing event observed to date in which the source transits two disjoint caustics. The PLANET data, consisti…

Limits on Stellar and Planetary Companions in Microlensing Event OGLE-1998-BUL-14

M. D. Albrow, J. -P. Beaulieu, J. A. R. Caldwell +17

We present the PLANET photometric data set for \ob14, a high magnification () event alerted by the OGLE collaboration toward the Galactic bulge in 1998. The PLA…

Combined Analysis of the Binary-Lens Caustic-Crossing Event MACHO 98-SMC-1

C. Afonso, C. Alcock, S. H. Rhie +2

We fit the data for the binary-lens microlensing event MACHO 98-SMC-1 from 5 different microlensing collaborations and find two distinct solutions characterized by binary separatio…

A Complete Set of Solutions For Caustic-Crossing Binary Microlensing Events

M. D. Albrow, J. -P. Beaulieu, J. A. R. Caldwell +17

We present a method to analyze binary-lens microlensing light curves with one well-sampled fold caustic crossing. In general, the surface of chi^2 shows extremely complicated behav…
