On the possibility of detecting extrasolar planets in M31 by Pixel-lensing observationsq |
|
Abstract |
We investigate the possibility to detect extrasolar planets in M31. We adopt a Monte Carlo approach to select the pixel-lensing light curves with detectable planetary features. The average planet mass for the selected events results to be about $2~M_{\rm {Jupiter}}$, even if also small mass planets ($M_P < 20~M_{\oplus}$) can cause significant deviations, at least in the observations with large telescopes. y |
