Galactic Structure Optical depth for microlensing toward CG High resolution spectroscopy of highly microlensed bulge dwarfs Microlensing in the Galactic disk
26
Gravitational Microlensing Optical Depth probably the best way to constrain the internal structure of the Milky Way The recent models of the Galactic Bulge: Kerins,Robin,Marshall (2010) OGLE >~10000 microlenses 3.2±0.8 (OGLE3 2007) 2.4±0.4 (MACHO 2000) 2.6±0.8 (MOA 2003)

OGLE-III Hardware and Software (2001) 1.3 m OGLE telescope at Las Campanas Observatory, Chile 8192 x 8192 pixel mosaic CCD camera (0.26 arcsec/pixel scale): 0.5 x 0.5 sq. degree Data Pipeline: photometry derived with image subtraction method (accuracy up to 3 mmag for the brightest stars over a few months long observing run)

Transiting OGLE Exoplanets

Planetary Microlensing O-III ~600 microlensing events per year in real time since 2002. Short-lived anomaly in the light curve of a typical single mass microlensing event.

OGLE-2003-BLG-235/MOA-2003-BLG-53 First Planetary Microlensing Planet/star mass ratio: q~0.004
35
OGLE-2005-BLG-71 Planet/star mass ratio: q~0.007
36
OGLE-2005-BLG-390 Planet/star mass ratio: q~0.00008. Mass of the planet: ~6 Earth masses. The least massive planet at the discovery
37
MOA-II Survey (2006– …)
38
Microlensing Planets – results ~30 microlensing planets found since the first announcement in 2004 (~20 published so far) First cool super-Earths of 3-10 Earth masses: low mass planets are common OGLE-2006-BLG-109: analog of the solar system (multiplanetary system: Jupiter+Saturn like) First estimations of the frequency of planets at and behind the snow line 2003– 2007: the discovery rate 0-1 exoplanets per season 2007–2010: the discovery rate of 2-4 exoplanets per season
39
Main Potential of Microlensing Full status and characterization of exoplanets in regions located 0.510 AU from Host Stars (the regions at and behind the Snow Line) Status of exoplanets around wide range of types of Host Stars Discovery of low mass planets from the ground

Second Generation Planetary Microlensing Survey Survey and Follow-up in one Network of 12-m class telescopes over the globe with large field (>1 square degs) cameras Monitoring of the most microlensing efficient parts of the Galactic bulge with the cadence of ~15 minutes No missing planets, easier estimation of survey statistics Estimations: A network of three 1.32 m telescopes: the detection of 14 Earth mass planets, 1015 super- Earths, 100 Jupiter mass planets per year Five year long survey should provide resonable large sample of planets for estimation of the census of exoplanets down to Earth mass at orbits of 0.510 AU

Free-Floating Planets Microlensing event characteristic time: t E =R E /v tr R E ~sqrt(M lens ) t E ~sqrt(M lens ) t E < 2 days – lensing object has planetary mass High cadence observations needed for detection : (OGLE-IV: 18-60 min.) MOA and OGLE data from 2006-2007: 10 short-lived microlensing events of likely planetary mass. No trace of host stars: population of unbound (FFP) or very distant exoplanets. OGLE-IV data much better suited : preliminary estimation – 2011 season: ~40 events with t E < 2 days (shortest corespond statistically to a few Earth mass objects) Origin: gravitational interactions – stellar encounters, ejection of planets during planetary system formation
49
OGLE-IV 2013 BLG SKY Cadence: red – up to 30 epochs/night yellow – up to 10 epochs/night green – up to 3 epochs/night blue – ~1 epoch/night cyan – ~1 epoch /2 nights
