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…
Measuring the evolution of the most stable optical clock G 117-B15A
S. O. Kepler, J. E. S. Costa, B. G. Castanheira +7
We report our measurement of the rate of change of period with time dP/dt for the 215 s periodicity in the pulsating white dwarf G 117-B15A, the most stable optical clock known. Af…
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…
Improving the Prospects for Detecting Extrasolar Planets in Gravitational Microlensing in 2002
I. A. Bond, F. Abe, R. J. Dodd +19
Gravitational microlensing events of high magnification have been shown to be promising targets for detecting extrasolar planets. However, only a few events of high magnification h…
Study by MOA of extra-solar planets in gravitational microlensing events of high magnification
I. A. Bond, N. J. Rattenbury, J. Skuljan +27
A search for extra-solar planets was carried out in three gravitational microlensing events of high magnification, MACHO 98-BLG-35, MACHO 99-LMC-2, and OGLE 00-BUL-12. Photometry w…
