A Low-Mass Planet with a Possible Sub-Stellar-Mass Host in Microlensing Event MOA-2007-BLG-192
D. P. Bennett, I. A. Bond, A. Udalski +44
We report the detection of an extrasolar planet of mass ratio q ~ 2 x 10^(-4) in microlensing event MOA-2007-BLG-192. The best fit microlensing model shows both the microlensing pa…
Discovery of a Jupiter/Saturn Analog with Gravitational Microlensing
B. S. Gaudi, D. P. Bennett, A. Udalski +66
Searches for extrasolar planets have uncovered an astonishing diversity of planetary systems, yet the frequency of solar system analogs remains unknown. The gravitational microlens…
The MOA 1.8-metre alt-az wide-field survey telescope and the MOA project
J. B. Hearnshaw, F. Abe, I. A. Bond +12
A new 1.8-m wide-field alt-az survey telescope was installed at Mt John University Observatory in New Zealand in October 2004. The telescope will be dedicated to the MOA (Microlens…
Determination of stellar shape in microlensing event MOA 2002-BLG-33
N. J. Rattenbury, F. Abe, D. P. Bennett +30
We report a measurement of the shape of the source star in microlensing event MOA 2002-BLG-33. The lens for this event was a close binary whose centre-of-mass passed almost directl…
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…
MOA 2003-BLG-37: A Bulge Jerk-Parallax Microlens Degeneracy
B. -G. Park, D. L. DePoy, B. S. Gaudi +25
We analyze the Galactic bulge microlensing event MOA-2003-BLG-37. Although the Einstein timescale is relatively short, t_e=43 days, the lightcurve displays deviations consistent wi…
Probing the atmosphere of a solar-like star by galactic microlensing at high magnification
F. Abe, D. P. Bennett, I. A. Bond +30
We report a measurement of limb darkening of a solar-like star in the very high magnification microlensing event MOA 2002-BLG-33. A 15 hour deviation from the light curve profile e…
Microlensing optical depth towards the Galactic bulge from MOA observations during 2000 with Difference Image Analysis
T. Sumi, F. Abe, I. A. Bond +27
We analyze the data of the gravitational microlensing survey carried out by by the MOA group during 2000 towards the Galactic Bulge (GB). Our observations are designed to detect ef…
Study of variable stars in the MOA data base: long-period red variables in the Large Magellanic Cloud
S. Noda, M. Takeuti, F. Abe +31
One hundred and forty six long-period red variable stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) from the three year MOA project database were analysed. A careful periodic analysis was…
