Inferring statistics of planet populations by means of automated microlensing searches
M. Dominik, U. G. Jorgensen, K. Horne +17
(abridged) The study of other worlds is key to understanding our own, and not only provides clues to the origin of our civilization, but also looks into its future. Rather than in…
The web-PLOP observation prioritisation system
Colin Snodgrass, Yiannis Tsapras, Rachel Street +4
We present a description of the automated system used by RoboNet to prioritise follow up observations of microlensing events to search for planets. The system keeps an up-to-date r…
Uncovering stellar atmospheres with gravitational microlensing telescopes
M. Dominik
A strong differential magnification over the face of the source star passing the caustic created by a binary lens star allows to measure its radial intensity profile with an angula…
Uncovering galactic and extragalactic planets by gravitational microlensing
M. Dominik
With its planet detection efficiency reaching a maximum for orbital radii between 1 and 10 AU, microlensing provides a unique sensitivity to planetary systems similar to our own ar…
Determining the abundance of extragalactic planets
M. Dominik
Gravitational microlensing provides a unique technique to reveal information about extragalactic planets. A network of at least four 2m-class telescopes distributed around the nort…
PLANET II: A Microlensing and Transit Search for Extrasolar Planets
Penny D. Sackett, M. D. Albrow, J. -P. Beaulieu +16
Due to their extremely small luminosity compared to the stars they orbit, planets outside our own Solar System are extraordinarily difficult to detect directly in optical light. Ca…
