MOA (Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics) is a Japan/NZ collaboration that makes observations on dark matter, extra-solar planets and stellar atmospheres using the gravitational microlensing technique at the Mt John Observatory in New Zealand pictured above. Further studies are also carried out, as described on the webpages to the left. Bohdan Paczynski 1940-2007 
The MOA group notes with deep sadness the death on April 19 of the leading pioneer of gravitational microlensing in the observational era, Professor Bohdan Paczynski of Princeton University. All members of the international microlensing community benefited from Bohdan’s scientific insight and unstinting support. He will be greatly missed. Further information on Bohdan Paczynski is at News@Princeton 
The MOA and uFUN astronomy teams squared off at tennis at Mission Bay Tennis Club on 16 Nov 2008. MOA had the home court advantage and more supporters and narrowly won. Here are Phil Yock (MOA), Eike von Seggern (MOA), Yvette Perrott (MOA), Grant and Duncan Christie (uFUN) and Simon Yock (MOA) after the match. 
On 25 June 2008 Professor Yasushi Muraki was awarded an Hon MNZM by Ambassador Ian Kennedy of the NZ Embassy in Tokyo to mark 20 years selfless support of joint research in astrophysics by Japan and New Zealand. Those in attendance at the warm and inclusive ceremony, which was conducted entirely in Japanese, included Mrs Muraki, Ambassador Kennedy's wife and son, Drs Fubio Abe and Toshi Yanagisawa of Japan, and Messrs Don Brown, Mark Pearson and Bruce McCallum of the NZ Embassy. Rugby great John Kirwan was honoured at a ceremony at the Embassy the same week. Details at NZ Embassy. 
At a recent meeting of the AAS David Bennett announced the discovery of a planet orbiting a very low-mass star, probably a brown dwarf. The planet mass is also low, ~ 3x Earth mass. It was found in microlens event MOA-2007-BLG-192. Although the projected separation is about 0.6 AU, the planet could have a thick atmosphere underlain by a deep ocean warmed by internal heating from radioactivity. Full details at arXiv:0806.0025 
(Richard Kerr, Science, 15 Feb 2008, p. 885) A solar system that is similar to our own has been discovered by the gravitational microlensing community. The observation bodes well for there being a larger number of Earth-like planets than previously thought 
On 6 June 2007 NZ Post issued a “Southern Skies” set of stamps featuring well-known southern objects including the Southern Cross and the Large Cloud of Magellan, and also prominent telescopes. The $2 stamp to the left displays the MOA telescope and the southern pinwheel galaxy. Further information is at Southern Skies 
New MOA alerts for the 2007 Bulge season now out. Details of the new microlensing alerts can be found by clicking on the Microlensing Alerts button, or by going to www.massey.ac.nz/~iabond/alert/alert.html
