MicroFUN

MicroFUN

The Microlensing Follow-Up Network (MicroFUN) is an informal group of observers who monitor high magnification gravitational microlensing events in the Milky Way's Galactic Bulge. Its goal is to detect extrasolar planets via microlensing of the parent star by the planet. [1] MicroFUN is a follow-up network - they monitor microlensing events identified by survey groups such as OGLE and Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics (MOA).

In January 2009, MicroFUN merged with the Probing Lensing Anomalies NETwork (PLANET).[2]
