Ongoing microlensing observations by OGLE and MOA regularly identify lensing events with Einstein diameter crossing time, τE, of 16 or fewer days. Events with estimated values of τE of one to two days have been detected. Short-duration events tend to be generated by low-mass lenses or by lenses with high …
