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…
Detecting Extra-Solar Planets via Microlensing at High Magnification
Nicholas J. Rattenbury, Ian A. Bond, Jovan Skuljan +1
Extra-solar planets can be efficiently detected in gravitational microlensing events of high magnification. High accuracy photometry is required over a short, well-defined time int…
Recent results by the MOA group on gravitational microlensing
P. Yock, I. Bond, N. Rattenbury +25
Recent work by the MOA gravitational microlensing group is briefly described, including (i) the current observing strategy, (ii) use of a high-speed parallel computer for analysis…
Test by JANZOS of the Standard Model of Cosmic Ray Acceleration in the COMPTEL/ROSAT Supernova Renmant
F. Abe, I. Bond, E. Budding +31
A search for ultra-high energy gamma-rays emitted by the young, nearby supernova remnant that was discovered recently by the COMPTEL and ROSAT satellites was made using the JANZOS…
Photometry of pulsating stars in the Magellanic Clouds as observed in the MOA project
J. B. Hearnshaw, I. A. Bond, N. J. Rattenbury +24
A review of the MOA (Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics) project is presented. MOA is a collaboration of approximately 30 astronomers from New Zealand and Japan established…
