Collaborative Project: Gravitational Microlensing of the Galactic Bulge Stars

利用现代全景探测器和现代计算机 对银河系隆起中的可变物体进行光度搜索， 正在进行。 大约有1亿次光度测量， 每年获得。 主要目标是探测引力 恒星、褐矮星和行星对膨胀星的微透镜效应 在中间的星系盘中。 大量的变量 各种各样的恒星将被产生，并提供给任何 感兴趣的调查员。

Using modern panoramic detectors and modern computers a massive photometric search for variable objects in the Galactic Bulge is being undertaken. About 100,000,000 photometric measurements are obtained each year. The primary goal is to detect gravitational microlensing of the Bulge stars by stars, brown dwarfs and planets in the intervening galactic disk. A large catalogue of variable stars of all kinds will be generated and made available to any interested investigator.
