MOA High Magnification Candidates

As of 2023-November-01 07:33:12 UTC.

These are MOA events that could peak at high magnification. The criteria for inclusion on this list are:

  • The event is yet to reach peak amplification, or has just peaked within the past 12 hours
  • A simple single lens fit does not rule out the possibility that the event will peak at high magnification, ie the upper limit to Amax is greater than 20.
