초록
We introduce a coordinate catalog for photometry of the KMTNet Galactic bulge observation program and how to find the microlensing event candidates in the photometry result. Basically, the KMTNet bulge program is monitoring a total of 27 target fields (108 deg2) with four different cadences of 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, and 5.0 hours. In order to measure the stellar flux of each target, we made a 'observation coordinate catalog' by using the 'OGLE-III catalog' and 'DoPhot package'. The catalog contains approximately 0.3 billion stars in the bulge fields. We also search for a microlensing event candidates by means of the 'Event Finder algorithm' which calculates the restricted single-lens fitting (t0, teff, u0; u0 = 0 or 1) model. As a result, we found more than 2,000 microlensing event candidates per each year including about 700 events from the other survey groups such as OGLE and MOA. In this year, we will improve our current pipeline system, e.g. upgrading the catalog and applying real-time photometry.
