Abstract

Recent work by the MOA gravitational microlensing group is briefly described, including (i) the current observing strategy, (ii) use of a high-speed parallel computer for analysis of results by inverse ray shooting, (iii) analysis of the light curve of event OGLE-2000-BUL12 in terms of extra-solar planets, and (iv) the MOA alert system using difference imaging.
