CRITERIA FOR SAMPLE SELECTION TO MAXIMIZE PLANET SENSITIVITY AND YIELD FROM SPACE-BASED MICROLENS PARALLAX SURVEYS
CRITERIA FOR SAMPLE SELECTION TO MAXIMIZE PLANET SENSITIVITY AND YIELD FROM SPACE-BASED MICROLENS PARALLAX SURVEYS
Space-based microlens parallax measurements are a powerful tool for understanding planet populations, especially their distribution throughout the Galaxy. However, if space-based observations of the microlensing events must be specifically targeted, it is crucial that microlensing events enter the parallax sample without reference to the known presence or absence of planets. …
