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…
A Jovian-mass Planet in Microlensing Event OGLE-2005-BLG-071
A. Udalski, M. Jaroszynski, B. Paczynski +30
We report the discovery of a several-Jupiter mass planetary companion to the primary lens star in microlensing event OGLE-2005-BLG-071. Precise (<1%) photometry at the peak of the…
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…
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…
