What is recorded here?
The OGLE team reported a candidate microlensing event toward the Galactic bulge after surveying approximately 650,000 stars. The selected star brightened and returned to its previous level; a single-lens model fit its light curve with an estimated Einstein-radius crossing time of 23.8 ± 0.9 days. This was a separate direction and event from contemporaneous Large Magellanic Cloud searches.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The rising light curve was poorly sampled and the observers could not test achromaticity during the event because V-band coverage was sparse. The paper treats the event as a candidate and cannot exclude an unusual variable star. Its likely approximately 0.3-solar-mass disk-lens estimate is conditional on a population and geometry model, not a direct mass or lens-type measurement. The distinct MACHO and EROS event teams retain their own credits; do not equate their timescale definitions or samples.
