                        Caustic passage over



Dear Colleagues,

over the last few days PLANET has been able to follow event OGLE 2004-BLG-482
over a caustic passage of the target star, likely to be an M5III giant, with
observations taken with the Danish 1.54m telescope at ESO LaSilla (Chile),
the Canopus 1.0m telescope near Hobart (Tasmania, Australia), and the 
Rockefeller 1.5m telescope at Boyden Observatory (South Africa).

Model parameters depend somewhat on the interpretation of the effects of
varying observing conditions on the data, but in general yield a passage
duration of about 2.44 d, where the source sweeps over the caustic from HJD =
2453234.57 (17-Aug, 1:45 UT) until HJD = 2453237.01 (19-Aug, 12:15 UT).    

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