--------------------------------------------- PLANET ANOMALY UPDATE 2005 #6-2 (issued 18-Jul, 00:05 UTC) --------------------------------------------- Caustic exit(s) likely to have passed Dear Colleagues, Recent data from the Danish 1.5 (LaSilla) and the Canopus 1.0m (Hobart) PLANET telescopes show that, following a rise of 0.3 mag between HJD=2453562.5 and HJD=2453565.5, this object is now approximately 1.2 mag fainter. This is confirmed by the most recent data from the OGLE team. One or two caustic exits may have occurred between HJD=3565.7 and HJD=3566.9 when poor weather prevented observing from our telescope sites in Chile and Australia. Further follow up photometric observations are encouraged to constrain the parameter space of this unique event. A light curve plot and data files for this event are available on our webpage, which is frequently updated. Event: OGLE 2005-BLG-331 RA (J2000): 17:50:09.60 Dec (J2000): -29:36:41.2 The baseline I magnitude reported by the OGLE team is 19.1 For more information: PLANET: http://planet.iap.fr OGLE: http://www.astrouw.edu.pl/~ftp/ogle/ -------------- On behalf of the PLANET collaboration Michael Albrow %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% If you prefer not to receive further PLANET Anomaly Alerts, please send an e-mail to planet@iap.fr.
