Cool planet mass function and a fly’s-eye ‘evryscope’ at Antarctica Philip Yock, Auckland, New Zealand 20th Microlensing Workshop Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris 13-15 January 2016
2
Twenty years ago Meeting at IAP on gravitational microlensing Christophe Alard announced DIA Bohdan Paczynski was present Would be pleased with results on planets Pleased with contributions by amateurs
3
Plea for high magnification In the days of Spitzer, K2 and KMTNet Hope that high mag events still followed
4
The mass function PLANET, Cassan et al, Nature 48, 167, 2012 OGLE-MOA-WISE Oct 2015 preprint MOA Paris, Jan 2016
5
The mass function PLANET, Cassan et al, Nature 48, 167, 2012 Need more data at low masses OGLE-MOA-WISE Oct 2015 preprint MOA This meeting
6
Few detections and low efficiencies at low mass OGLE-MOA-Wise (four years) MOA (6 years ) Single detections Nil detections
7
KMTNet in 2016 Calen Henderson et al, ApJ 794, 52, 2014 Assumes saturated Cassan mass function KMTNet will detect about 8 low- mass (1 – 10 M E ) planets per year
8
High magnification technique? μFUN technique with 1-2m class telescopes Monitor FWHM continuously if A max > 50 Approximately 24 hours per event Approximately 20 events per year
9
Reminder: monitor Full Width at Half Max FWHM ~ 1 day
10
Follow-up telescopes ignore the wings FWHM ~ 1 day Ignore
11
1.5 Earth mass Photometric errors and cadence from the MOA telescope FWHM
12
5.5 Earth masses

Detection efficiency u 0 : 6 values ±.02, ±.01, ±.005 t E : 3 values 10 days, 20 days, 30 days ρ : 3 values.0005,.001,.002 q : 5 values 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5 × 10 -5 s : 5 values.95,.85,.75,.65,.55 α : 1 value 60⁰ (for 30⁰ < α < 90⁰) Follow-up data: 1 measurement every.001 day in FWHM at MOA cadence and precision in fair weather Found fraction of events with Δχ 2 > 300 F. Abe et al MNRAS 431, 2975, 2013 C. Airey, Doha workshop, 2013 L. Philpott, Santa Barbara, 2014
14
Detection efficiencies Planet mass q = 5 × 10 -5 Planet distance 0.6 < s < 1.7 Planet angle 30⁰ < α < 150⁰ or 210⁰ < α < 330⁰ Detection efficiency ̴ 75% Planet mass q = 2 × 10 -5 Planet distance 0.8 < s < 1.25 Planet angle 30⁰ < α < 150⁰ or 210⁰ < α < 330⁰ Detection efficiency ̴ 80%
15
Detection rate Assume Cassan mass function Assume 20 events monitored per year with A max > 50 Detetct 8 low mass planets (1-6M E ) per year Comparable to KMTNet Independent sample of events Could have been done already
16
Examples: first two high mag planets OGLE-2005-BLG-071 q = 0.0071 s = 1.29 OGLE-2005-BLG-169 q = 6 × 10 -5 s = 1.02
17
Recent event – OGLE-2015-BLG-0966 Rachel Street et al, arXiv:1508.0702
18
FWHM (top 0.75 mag)
19
FWHM 2.2days modelling? systematics? moon?
20
Eyeball measurements α and ρ tWtW t0t0 tptp source track lens axis α α = tan -1 t E u min /(t p -t 0 ) = 50⁰ t W ≈ 3ρt E (Abe et al) ≈ 0.24 day ρ ≈ 0.24/3×58 ≈ 0.0014
21
Final measurements of s, q, α, ρ tWtW t0t0 tptp source track lens axis α α = tan -1 t E u min /(t p -t 0 ) = 50⁰ t W ≈ 3ρt E ≈ 0.24 day ρ ≈ 0.24/3×58 ≈ 0.0014 The values of s and q cannot be eyeballed. The shape of the planetary perturbation yielded s = 1.115 or 0.909 and q = 1.7 × 10 -4

OGLE-2015-BLG-0966
23
Low mass planets can be found at high mag ?
24
Multiple planets?
25
Two planet test ̶ OGLE-2012-BLG-0026 Han et al, ApJ 762, L28 (2013) Follow-up observations by amateurs
26
OGLE-2012-BLG-0026 Magnification maps, or whatever
27
OGLE-2012-BLG-0026 Above are Jovian planets Neptunes more common Multi-Neptunes?
28
Triple-Neptune system found by RV Angelle Tanner et al, ApJ 800, 115 (2015) H unt by microlensing
29
Summary High mag technique sensitive to low-mass planets Provides a “snapshot” of a planetary system near the Einstein ring Multi-planets detectable Statistics ok No problems with low detection efficiencies Statistically unbiased and independent sample of events
30
Telescopes OGLE and MOA survey more than 30 square deg Continuous follow-up needed Hopefully follow-up telescopes available in Australia (Tasmania), South Africa (SAAO) and Chile (Danish) Some overlap between KMTNet and OGLE/MOA fields would provide checks
31
Antarctica – a personal dream for NZ Excellent seeing, dry atmosphere, long nights, constant air mass
32
Antarctica – a personal dream for NZ SP F A C USA, Australia, Japan, China, France there, but only one NZer
33
Matthew Freeman at Ridge A in 2015 80⁰S, 4000m, driest & coldest place on Earth
34
One possibility – the ‘evryscope’ 25 telephoto lenses (200mm) 10,000 square degree FOV Comparable to TESS Seek transited M dwarfs within 100 lt yr Microlensing events at < 1 kpc (r E ~ 1 AU) Further information: A. Fukui et al ApJ 670, 423 (2007) S. Gaudi et al ApJ 677, 1268 (2008) N. Law et al PASP 127, 234 (2015) Chilean Evryscope (Nick Law et al)
