Galactic Center Field

The exoplanet census, via microlensing

What this is

An additional field covering the Galactic Center, the most crowded and most obscured pointing in the program.

Six fields toward the Galactic centre, imaged every twelve minutes for weeks at a time. Microlensing events are brief and unrepeatable — the cadence is the experiment.
