The Microlensing Event Rate and Optical Depth from MOA-II 9 Yr Survey Toward the Galactic Bulge

We present measurements of the microlensing optical depth and event rate toward the Galactic bulge using the data set from the 2006 to 2014 MOA-II survey, which covers 22 bulge fields spanning ∼42 deg ^2 between −5° < l < 10° and −7° < b < −1°. In the central region with ∣ l ∣ < 5...
