---------------------------------------------- PLANET TEAM ANOMALY UPDATE FOR EROS BLG-2000-5 ---------------------------------------------- The PLANET collaboration has been performing intense photometric monitoring of the multiple-lens microlensing event EROS BLG-2000-5 from five observing sites distributed in longitude. This event, executed a fold caustic at Heliocentric Julian Date (HJD) = 2451705.000 +/- 0.002 (see earlier PLANET team alert and caustic characterization). Since then, the source light curve has declined and levelled out in the caustic trough. Recent data collected by PLANET confirm that the light curve of the source has now risen by about 0.2 magnitudes since the caustic trough. PLANET currently have a range of models which indicate that the peak associated with a second caustic crossing is likely to occur between HJDs of 2451727.0 and 2451730.0. PLANET modelling of this event indicates a source crossing the caustic at a small angle and close to a cusp, which makes the exact crossing time difficult to predict. We will be updating the second caustic crossing information on our web page frequently. Event: EROS-2000-BUL-005 RA (J2000): 17:53:11.5 Dec (J2000): -30:55:35 PLANET continues to observe this event. Additional photometric and spectroscopic observations are encouraged. Finding charts, previous alert information and updates can be found on the PLANET web site at http://www.astro.rug.nl/~planet.
