Prediction of Planet Yields by the PRime-focus Infrared Microlensing Experiment Microlensing Survey
The PRime-focus Infrared Microlensing Experiment (PRIME) will be the first to conduct a dedicated near-infrared microlensing survey by using a 1.8 m telescope with a wide field of view of 1.45 deg ^2 at the South African Astronomical Observatory.
