Microlensing surveys for exoplanets
BS Gaudi - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2012 - annualreviews.org
Unlike most other planet-detection techniques, gravitational microlensing does not rely on
detection of photons from either the host or the planet. Rather, planets are discovered by …
