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…
Detecting Earth-Like Extra-Solar Planets from Antarctica by Gravitational Microlensing
Philip Yock
Earth-like extra-solar planets may be detected with 1-2m class telescopes using the gravitational microlensing technique. The essential requirement is the ability to be able to car…
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…
Electro-strong interaction and high Q^2 events at HERA
Philip Yock
A previously proposed unified field theory of electro-strong interactions requires two scales of length within hadrons, and respectively, and the on…
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…
