Abstract |
I will discuss microlensing towards globular clusters and in particular present the case of an event which occurred in the year 2000 towards the cluster M22, observed against the dense stellar field of the Milky Way Bulge. Using the adaptive optics system NACO at ESO VLT it was possible to identify the lens, which turned out to be a low mass star of about 0.18 solar masses in the globular cluster itself. |
