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

• Ultimate nightmare for normal microlensing planet hunters.

What about Earth mass planets ?

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

Earth mass planet signal is washed out for giant source stars

Ground-based confusion, space-based resolutionGround-based confusion, space-based resolution

• 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.
