The background
MOA is a Japanese New Zealand collaboration that makes observations on dark matter, extra-solar planets and stellar atmospheres using the gravitational microlensing technique. The phenomenon now known as gravitational microlensing was first described by Einstein in 1936 in a paper on the lens-like action of a star by the deviation of light in the gravitational field (Science, Vol.84, P.506). The phenomenon enables a distant star to be effectively magnified by the gravitational field of a nearer collinear star. The magnification is given by the ratio of the area of the Einstein ring to the area of the source star. It may reach values as high as 1,000. As noted by Einstein, the alignments that are needed to observe the effect are rare. Moreover, as all stars are in motion, they are brief and non-repeating. In typical examples, magnification is detectable over a period of about one month. Most examples of gravitational microlensing are observed in the dense stellar fields in the galactic bulge, as illustrated in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Formation of an Einstein ring when two stars are collinear as seen from Earth. In this case a solar-like star is being lensed by a red dwarf. The radius of the Einstein ring is typically about 2 AU. The angular width of the ring is equal to the angular radius of the source star (S. Liebes, Physical Review, Vol. B133, p. 835).

Figure 1. High magnification event OGLE 2005-BLG-71 shows clear evidence of a planetary perturbation. Data were obtained by several telescopes around the globe, including amateur astronomers in New Zealand, but sufficient data to characterise the planet were obtained by Andrzej Udalski alone using the OGLE telescope in Chile. See astro-ph/0505451 for details.

How we work with MOA to build a data management plan and repository
The Centre for eResearch is working with Dr Nicholas Rattenbury and Associate Professor Ian Bond to create a searchable image repository to facilitate future research. The repository will enable easy access to images of stars of interest, allowing researchers to be able to quickly determine if currently observed events have repeated in the past. The repository will also facilitate new research into machine learning algorithms, that will data mine the images in the repository in search of previously unknown events. See the data management diagram 1.
