Teaching
In this section we present some worked examples of microlensing analysis to study, or to form the basis of teaching materials.
In finding planets you can examine real-world microlensing events to see if you can spot the signature of a planet.
The article on estimating parameters describes how
to derive approximate values for the main microlensing parameters from the lightcurve.
You can practise this on Point-Source, Point-Lens events
and explore a number of worksheets for binary events:
- MOA-2009-BLG-226L
- MOA-2010-BLG-328L
- MOA-2010-BLG-353L
- MOA-2011-BLG-028L
- MOA-2013-BLG-605L
- OGLE-2005-BLG-390L
- OGLE-2012-BLG-358L
- OGLE-2012-BLG-0406L
- OGLE-2014-BLG-1760L
You can also practise relating lightcurve morphology to caustic structures in caustics.
