Scientific paper

We propose high resolution imaging observations using HST/ACS to confirm that the lens in the microlensing event OGLE 2003-BLG-235/MOA 2003-BLG-53 is a planetary system. Modelling of ground based photometry of this event yields an extreme mass fraction of 0.004 {ApJ 606, L155}. We aim to use high resolution imaging to isolate the flux of the lens star from the contributions of neighbouring "blended" stars within 1-2 arcsecs. This will allow us to identify the nature of the lens star and hence determine the mass of the stellar and planetary components. The lens is most likely a main sequence star, but other possibilities cannot be ruled out. High resolution imaging observations are crucial in identifying the nature of the lens.
