              OGLE-2004-BLG-482 Trailing limb caustic exit in about 24h



Dear Colleagues,


Latest PLANET data from LaSilla and Tasmania confirm our earlier
interpretation that the source has entered the central caustic.
The event is now right at peak magnification ~3 mag above baseline.
Our current analysis, based on finite source (including limbdarkening)
models by M.Dominik, A.Cassan and P.Fouque, predicts that the trailing
limb will exit the caustic around MHJD = 3236.95, i.e. in about 24h.

Dense photometric and multiband (respectively spectroscopic) observations
are highly encouraged!




Event:            OGLE 2004-BLG-482
RA (J2000):        17:57:30.60
Dec (J2000):       -30:51:30.1
