--------------------------------------------- PLANET ANOMALY UPDATE 2006 #6-3 (issued 5-Jul, 7:50 UT) --------------------------------------------- OGLE 2006-BLG-335 rising, caustic exit expected Dear Colleagues, most recent data collected by PLANET with the Danish 1.54m at ESO LaSilla (Chile) indicate that OGLE 2006-BLG-335 is now brightening by ~0.05 mag/hr after a plateau following a fold-caustic entry peak had been reached about 1.5 days ago. Preliminary modelling of the observed light curve favours a stellar binary lens rather than a planetary nature, given the asymmetric peak and the large magnification for the observed plateau. Coverage of two caustic passages however will strictly constrain the model and allow a robust measurement of the stellar brightness profile. A light curve plot as well as data is available on our webpages. Event: OGLE 2006-BLG-335 RA (J2000): 17:52:19.15 Dec (J2000): -30:39:39.6 The baseline I magnitude reported by the OGLE team is 18.746 +/- 0.003.
