Scientific paper

We propose ACS/HRC images of the microlensing event MOA-2002-BLG-33 which exhibited a light curve deviation from the normal single-lens microlensing light curve on July 4.65-5.28, 2002 UT. This light curve deviation may be due to either a planetary or stellar companion orbiting the lens star, and the deviation is very well characterized since the event was observed continuously by telescopes at 6 different longitudes. The source star for this microlensing event is very likely to be unresolved in ground-based images when it is not magnified by microlensing, and our observations are intended to determine the properties of the lens star. We request UBVI images both during and after the microlensing event in order to get accurate measurements of the color of the lensed source star and any stars that are not resolved from it, such as the lens star.
