Datasets

There are a number of real and simulated datasets including microlensing events, which are useful both to explore and for software testing.

Real datasets

The NASA Exoplanet Archive hosts a number of datasets relevant to microlensing. The lightcurves for planetary events are available from the planets table, and the following survey data releases
are also available.

• DREAMS microlensing survey
• KMTNet survey data from K2 campaign See Kim et al.(2017) and Kim et al.(2018)
• UKIRT microlensing survey Described in Shvartzvald et al.(2018)
• The VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) Survey in near infra-red passbands publicly released (Minniti et al. 2010) aperture photometry lightcurve data for all sources between 2010 and 2015.
  • VVV Survey data
• MOA microlensing survey
  • The lightcurves of 474 microlensing events were published by Sumi et al.(2013)
• OGLE microlensing survey data archive
  • 214 OGLE-II/III lightcurves were published in Udalski et al.(2000)
  • 3718 OGLE-III lightcurves were published by Wyrzykowski et al.(2015)
• ROME/REA microlensing survey
• K2 Campaign 9
• The lightcurves of 564 microlensing events from the MACHO Bulge survey were published in Thomas et al.(2005)

In addition many of the ground-based surveys provide reduced data products for events discovered in real-time. See the Ground-based Surveys for more information.

Simulated datasets

• The 2018 microlensing data challenge dataset
• The PLAsTiCC data challenge from the LSST
• DESC ELAsTiCC data challenge from the LSST
