Descripción
The Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics (MOA) collaboration is an international research project that uses gravitational microlensing for the discovery of exoplanets. MOA was initiated in the late 1990s and primarily involves institutions from Japan and New Zealand. The collaboration's observation site is the Mount John Observatory in New Zealand. We present here an overview of the MOA collaboration data archive, in terms of the monthly and annual number of images taken towards the MOA fields in the Galactic bulge and Magellanic Cloud regions, exposure times, the time between observations, and the monthly altitude distribution of observations (Reasonable requests for MOA data will be considered by the MOA collaboration. Primary contacts for data requests are Preeti Cowan (preeti.cowan [at] auckland.ac.nz (preeti[dot]cowan[at]auckland[dot]ac[dot]nz)) and Nicholas Rattenbury (n.rattenbury [at] auckland.ac.nz (n[dot]rattenbury[at]auckland[dot]ac[dot]nz))).

    Characterising six solar analogues observed by Kepler, K2, and Hermes
    The Sun is a cornerstone of stellar astrophysics, offering a uniquely detailed benchmark due to its proximity. However, our ability to observe it spans only a brief window of its 4.5-billion-year evolution, raising the question: how typical is the Sun among solar-type stars? This has led to the identification of solar twins—stars nearly identical

    Finding the sweet spot: Modelling of oscillating red giant binaries
    Binary stars are essential astrophysical test-beds. As the components of binary systems are formed from the same material and at the same time, they share fundamental properties such as their age and initial composition. Among the different types of binary systems, eclipsing binaries give the most stringent constraints about the stars, such as the

    When stars speak too fast: probing the first dredge up beyond the Nyquist frequency
    Using asteroseismology, we analyse late subgiants and early red giants with long cadence data from Kepler. These two phases are key for studying the first dredge-up, when deep convection transports nuclear-processed material to the stellar surface. Asteroseismology constrains stellar masses and radii through the global seismic parameters νmax
