Planetary Detection Efficiency of the Magnification 3000 Microlensing Event OGLE‐2004‐BLG‐343
OGLE-2004-BLG-343 was a microlensing event with peak magnification Amax = 3000 ± 1100, by far the highest magnification event ever analyzed and hence potentially extremely sensitive to planets orbiting the lens star. Due to human error, intensive monitoring did not begin until 43 minutes after peak, at which point the …
