MOA-2011-BLG-293Lb: A test of pure survey microlensing planet detections

Because of the development of large-format, wide-field cameras, microlensing surveys are now able to monitor millions of stars with sufficient cadence to detect planets. These new discoveries will span the full range of significance levels…
