Notes. Parameters marked with an
asterisk (*) are varied in our simulations in order to
evaluate their influence on the lunar detection rate and to compare
different triple-lens scenarios. The fixed parameters lead to values
for the Einstein ring radius, mas,
i.e. 1.9 AU in the lens plane, and the Einstein time,
days.
The lensed system is a Saturn-mass planet at a projected separation of
2.5 AU from its
M-dwarf host, the Earth-mass satellite orbits the planet at
0.06 AU, i.e. 0.01 mas angular separation,
cf. Fig. 10.
