| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project continued the exoplanet search by MOA group via gravitational microlensing for 4 years aiming to increase free-floating planet candidates to study their abundance and mass function. During February-November in 2014-2017, we, Japanese members and NZ local observers, conducted the high cadence continuous survey observation in 50 square degree field towards the Galactic Bulge and succeeded to find about 2,500 microlensing events in real time. We are currently working on the statistical analysis of this dataset to estimate the number of short timescale microlensing events, which are free-floating planet candidates.
