AST 9530478 The Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment. Dr. Paczynski will lead a group of international researchers in expanding and extending the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) to a second phase. The group will utilize a new 1.3 meter telescope being built by the Warsaw University Observatory at the Las Campanas site in Chile. They will use a CCD camera with 2000 x 2000 pixels to obtain multi-band photometry of 100 million to 1 billion stars towards the bulge of our Galaxy, the Magellanic Clouds and to make stellar catalogs for an area of up to 1000 square degrees on the sky. The group will also search for microlensing events in the densest stellar fields. Microlensing data will be provided in real time on the Internet, and stellar catalogs will be distributed on CD ROMs. =========================================

AST 9530478 光学引力透镜实验。 Paczynski博士将领导一组国际研究人员将光学引力透镜实验（OGLE）扩展到第二阶段。 该小组将利用华沙大学天文台在智利Las Campanas站点建造的新的1.3米望远镜。 他们将使用一个2000 x 2000像素的CCD摄像机来获得1亿到10亿颗恒星的多波段测光，这些恒星朝向我们银河系的凸起，麦哲伦云，并为天空中高达1000平方度的区域制作恒星目录。 该小组还将在致密恒星场中寻找微透镜事件。 微透镜数据将在互联网上以真实的时间提供，恒星目录将以光盘形式分发。 =========================================
