Hunting for planets via microlensingHunting for planets via microlensing
Detecting real time microlensing event : OGLE-III and MOA 2
Selecting microlensing event with good planet detection efficiency Two schools :
- High magnification events and alerted anomalies (microFUN)- Monitoring a larger number of events (PLANET/ROBONET)
.
Networks of telescopes 24h/24: PLANET/RoboNET, microFUNAccurate photometry (Image subtraction since 2006)Real time analysis and modeling
All data, models, are shared immediately among the microlensing community.Cooperation is the way to go !
OGLE-III has an online anomaly detector (EWS)MOA-II

• Triple lens, with finite source effects, parallaxe, & taking into account rotation of planets
• Ultimate nightmare for normal microlensing planet hunters.
• Great excitment for Gaudi, Bennett, Gould and Dong.

Microlensing of an Earth mass planet
• If planetary Einstein Ring < source star disk: planetary microlensing effect is washed out (Bennett & Rhie 1996)
•For a typical bulge giant source star, the limiting mass is ~10 M
•For a bulge, solar type main sequence star, the limiting mass is ~ 0.1 M

• Main Sequence stars are not resolved from the ground• Systematic photometry errors for unresolved main sequence
stars cannot be overcome with deeper exposures (i.e. a large ground-based telescope).
• High Resolution + large field + 24hr duty cycle

CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION
Microlensing is today probing “Frozen” planets.
8 microlensing planets published to date :
3 ~Jupiters, 1 ~ 1.4 Earth, 1 ~5.5 Earth, 1 ~13 Earth1 multiple system : Jupiter + Saturn
(Probability of detecting Jupiters is ~30 times larger)Giant planets are rare, suggests 1-15 MEARTH might be common
Several planets in “stock”… modeling underway.Frozen ~Earth mass planets on ~AU orbits are within reach.
