MOA-cam3: a wide-field mosaic CCD camera for a gravitational microlensing survey in New Zealand
T. Sako, T. Sekiguchi, M. Sasaki +16
We have developed a wide-field mosaic CCD camera, MOA-cam3, mounted at the prime focus of the Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics (MOA) 1.8-m telescope. The camera consists o…
Apollo asteroids (1566) Icarus and 2007 MK6: Icarus family members?
K. Ohtsuka, H. Arakida, T. Ito +6
Although it is more complicated to search for near-Earth object (NEO) families than main belt asteroid (MBA) families, since differential orbital evolution within a NEO family can…
Thermal infrared observations of the Hayabusa spacecraft target asteroid 25143 Itokawa
T. G. Mueller, T. Sekiguchi, M. Kaasalainen
We obtained N- and Q-band observations of the Apollo-type asteroid 25143 Itokawa during its close Earth approach in July 2004 with TIMMI2 at the ESO 3.6 m telescope. Our photometri…
Multiple Outbursts of a Cataclysmic Variable in the Globular Cluster M22
I. A. Bond, F. Abe, S. Eguchi +18
We present a 4 year light curve of a cataclysmic variable in M22, based on an analysis of accumulated data from the MOA microlensing survey. The position of the star coincides with…
Search for Low-Mass Exoplanets by Gravitational Microlensing at High Magnification
F. Abe, D. P. Bennett, I. A. Bond +32
Observations of the gravitational microlensing event MOA 2003-BLG-32/OGLE 2003-BLG-219 are presented for which the peak magnification was over 500, the highest yet reported. Contin…
OGLE 2003-BLG-235/MOA 2003-BLG-53: A planetary microlensing event
I. A. Bond, A. Udalski, M. Jaroszynski +29
We present observations of the unusual microlensing event OGLE 2003-BLG-235/MOA 2003-BLG-53. In this event a short duration (~7 days) low amplitude deviation in the light curve due…
