4. Hunting 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, microFUN Accurate 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 Detecting anomalies real time :

22. 3 bodies, 0.5 Mo, ~0.7 Mjup, ~0.3 Mjup at 2.3 AU, at 4.6 AU 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. Two other multiple systems « in stock », modeling underway. Microlensing gives constraints on multiple planet systems. A scale ½ solar system (Sun, Jupiter, Saturn)

23. What about Earth mass planets ?

24. 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 To get small mass planets, we need small source stars !

26. Ground-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

33. CONCLUSION Microlensing is today probing “Frozen” planets. 8 microlensing planets published to date : 3 ~Jupiters, 1 ~ 1.4 Earth, 1 ~5.5 Earth, 1 ~13 Earth 1 multiple system : Jupiter + Saturn (Probability of detecting Jupiters is ~30 times larger) Giant planets are rare, suggests 1-15 M EARTH might be common Several planets in “stock”… modeling underway. Frozen ~Earth mass planets on ~AU orbits are within reach. 1- 5 yrs : automatic follow up (pointed obs) 5-10 yrs : network of wide field imagers 10+ yrs : wide field imager in space (EUCLID) Getting η super earth, then η 
