A New Channel for the Detection of Planetary Systems through Microlensing. I. Isolated Events due to Planet Lenses

We propose and evaluate the feasibility of a new strategy to search for planets via microlensing observations. This new strategy is designed to detect planets in "wide" orbits, i.e., with orbital separation, a, greater than ~1.5RE. Planets in wide orbits may provide the dominant channel for the discovery of planets …
