    OGLE 2005-BLG-327: Caustic exit monitored - probably not a planet


Dear Colleagues,

PLANET managed to monitor most of the second half of the caustic exit of 
OGLE 2005-BLG-327 with the Danish 1.54m at ESO LaSilla (Chile), where a 
typical sampling interval of 3 min provides a quasi-continuous coverage.
Moreover, prior to these data, about 40 points have been taken with the 
SAAO 1.0m at Sutherland (South Africa), which still have to be reduced.
Independently, the OGLE team reports that their data show a fading by more
than 2 mag during the recent night. With the last Danish 1.54m data point
taken at HJD=2453580.8146 (29-Jul, 7:33 UT), the end of the caustic exit was
not reached yet.

Our recent data is in agreement with previous binary-lens models with 
moderate mass ratios, but appear to be in conflict with our planetary models. 

Light curve plot and PLANET data for this event are available on our webpages.
