Identifying low-amplitude pulsating stars through microlensing observations

چکیده
One possibility for detecting low-amplitude pulsational variations is through gravitational microlensing. During a microlensing event, the temporary brightness increase leads to improvement in signal-to-noise ratio, and thereby better detectability of signatures light curves. We explore this under two primary considerations. The first when standard point-source point-lens approximation applies. In scenario, dividing observed curve by best-fitted model residuals that result features with improved uncertainties. second transit events (single lens) or caustic crossing (binary lens). breaks down, relative simple display more complex behavior. employ Monte-Carlo simulation pulsating variables toward Galactic bulge surveys OGLE KMTNet. demonstrate efficiency intrinsic amplitudes $<0.25$ mag during single binary events, at differences $\chi^{2}$ $\Delta \chi^{2} >350$, $\sim 50-60\%$. maximum occurs periods $P \simeq 0.1-0.3$ days. also study high-magnification non-radially stars (NRPs) could be misinterpreted as planetary events. conclude small asymmetric around lightcurve peaks due stellar pulsations misdiagnosed (or passing close to)

Infrared Observations of Large Amplitude Pulsating Stars
Our understanding of large amplitude pulsating stars and their status in stellar evolution is briefly reviewed. The paper then describes the near-infrared light curves of various asymptotic giant branch stars, concentrating on possible evidence for changing mass-loss rates. The stars discussed include oxygenand carbon-rich Miras, OH/IR stars, thick-shelled carbon stars and symbiotic Miras. Fina...
متن کاملObservations of Pulsating Stars
Pulsations discussed will begin at the “top” of the instability strip with pulsating red giants and Miras, which are evolved stars nearing their own demise. The next discussed will be the Cepheids, both the “Classical” ones as well as the W Virginis (Population II stars). While moving down the instability strip of the HR Diagram, the next major type of variable (pulsating) star are the RR Lyrae...
متن کاملPulsating Relativistic Stars
Pulsating stars have given important information in classical astronomy and are still an active research field, e.g. asteroseismology or helioseismology. By studying the rich oscillation stellar spectra, optical astronomy makes predictions for the stellar equations of state (EOS), the evolutionary age of the stars, and in the case of Cepheids one can make exact predictions for the distance of t...
متن کاملPulsating Variable Stars
This REU summer project dealt mainly with analyzing data and determining the periods of certain types of pulsating variable stars called RR Lyraes and Cepheids. Pulsating variables periodically change in brightness over a certain amount of time for reasons having to do with the internal structure of the star itself. Dr. Horace Smith has been studying such variables in our neighboring galaxy, th...
متن کاملAstrometric Microlensing of Stars
Due to dramatic improvements in the precision of astrometric measurements, the observation of light centroid shifts in observed stars due to intervening massive compact objects (‘astrometric microlensing’) will become possible in the near future. Upcoming space missions, such as SIM and GAIA, will provide measurements with an accuracy of 4–60 μas depending on the magnitude of the observed stars...
