• Light from the source star is bent by the gravity of the lens object like Black hall. • Lens object as though optical lens, magnify the light from background star. Amplification Gravitational Microlensing Earth Time Lens Object Star
Point mass lens
Halo Dark Matter • There ~10 times more dark matter than visible mass. • If they are MAssive Compact Halo Object (MACHO), they can be observed by Microlensing.

First Microlensing event by MACHO & EROS
MACHO 2 years, Alcock et al. 1997
• MACHO 5. 7 years 11. 9 million stars in the LMC reveals 13 -17 microlensing events • 0. 15 ~ 0. 9 M , f=20% 12 events: 16% of the mass of a standard Galactic halo. The detection exceeds the expected background of 2 events expected from ordinary stars in standard models of the Milky Way and LMC at the 99. 98% confidence level. (Bennett 2005)
Eros 5 years, Afonso et al. 400, p. 951 -956 (2003) • Less than 25% of a standard halo can be composed of objects with a mass between 2 x 10 -7 M and 1 M at the 95% C. L.
EROS and MACHO Combined Limits on Planetary-Mass Dark Matter in the Galactic Halo, f<25% of the halo dark matter made of MACHO with 10 -7 -10 -3 M , for most models considered f< 10% for 3. 5× 10 -7 -4. 5× 10 -5 M. Alcock et al. (1998)

Summary • MACHO comprise ~16% of Dark Halo • MOA can solve if there is MACHO or not • MOA found 5 Earth mass Extra-Solar Planet • MOA will find an another Earth!
Animation of O 235/M 53
The Idea of binary and planetary event was first suggested by Mao & Paczynski, 1991, Ap. JL, 374, 40 RE primary planet Source is at 8 kpc Primary : 1 Mo Secondary: 0. 1, 0. 001 Mo at 4 kpc <caustic>=0. 06 RE, assuming loga=const.
Constraints on the distance to O 235/M 53 and its mass x=Dlens/Dsource Using Main sequence Mass-Luminosity relation, and Flens<Fblend, Dlens<5. 4 kpc(90%c. l. ) Then Likelihood was estimated by using Disk model & Proper motion.
