| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have try to investigate a new method to detect extra-galactic planets via quasar microlensing.
On theoretical side, we have constructed a specialized computer to calculate quasar microlensing light curves including planets component as lenses. Further, we have developed an essential part of a numerical code to calculate the light curves, and checked that the code shows enough accuracy and efficiency for the numerical calculations.
On observational side, we have observed several lensed quasars by our university observatory, and have analyse the data. We have learned proper way to analyse the data, but have not succeeded to extract quasar microlensing signal with enough accuracy for further data analysis. Thus, as a next step, we have constructed a new strategy to take data with enough accuracy at other observatory, and submit an observation proposal with a triggering threshold based on previous monitoring data.
