Notes for 94-BLG-4

update: 23 December 1996

The planet(s):

• Detection method: Microlensing
• Basic data:
  • M:       ~ 5 M_J
  • Semi-major axis:      ~ 1 AU ?
• Remarks: The microlensing method only gives the star-planet distance projected on the sky at the moment of observation of `planet' event. An orbit cannot be determined since the event is seen only once.
