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…
Discovery of a Cool Planet of 5.5 Earth Masses Through Gravitational Microlensing
J. -P. Beaulieu, D. P. Bennett, P. Fouque +46
In the favoured core-accretion model of formation of planetary systems, solid planetesimals accumulate to build up planetary cores, which then accrete nebular gas if they are suffi…
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…
