Microlensing search for extra solar planets
Gravitational microlensing may be used to probe distant stars for planetary companions. The presence of a planet in the vicinity of a star acting as the lens may cause a short lived anomaly in the observed lightcurve of the lensing event. By quantifying these anomalies we may place limits on the mas...
