About this course

Gravitational microlensing events are rare. They reveal the presence of planets orbiting the foreground star through subtle deviations in the light curve. This method is especially sensitive to planets in wide orbits. It can detect planets otherwise undetectable by other techniques, such as the transit method or radial velocity method. Microlensing surveys monitor millions of stars. This allows the discovery of planets across a wide range of masses and orbital distances. Test your knowledge of microlensing with these multiple-choice questions! Prepare to explore the fascinating world of exoplanet detection.
