Generation of Microlensing Magnification Patterns with High Performance Computing Techniques
High Performance computers have became an essential part of modern research, but the software tools used to harness their power have not reached the level of simplicity expected by the average researcher. Researchers are familiar with the logic of sequential coding and the time needed to learn new tools is seen as a distraction from their field of research. Furthermore, most of the issues relat...
متن کاملQuasar Microlensing at High Magnification and the Role of Dark Matter: Enhanced Fluctuations and Suppressed Saddlepoints
Contrary to naive expectation, diluting the stellar component of the lensing galaxy in a highly magnified system with smoothly distributed “dark” matter increases rather than decreases the microlensing fluctuations caused by the remaining stars. For a bright pair of images straddling a critical curve, the saddlepoint (of the arrival time surface) is much more strongly affected than the associat...
متن کاملPlanetary Detection Efficiency of the Magnification 3000 Microlensing Event Ogle-2004-blg-343
OGLE-2004-BLG-343 was a microlensing event with peak magnification Amax 1⁄4 300
متن کاملProbing the atmosphere of a solar-like star by galactic microlensing at high magnification
We report a measurement of limb darkening of a solar-like star in the very high magnification microlensing event MOA 2002–BLG–33. A 15 hour deviation from the light curve profile expected for a single lens was monitored intensively in V and I passbands by five telescopes spanning the globe. Our modelling of the light curve showed the lens to be a close binary system whose centre-of-mass passed ...
متن کاملMagnification Bias in Galactic Microlensing Searches
It is shown that a significant amount of detectable gravitational microlensing events that could potentially be found by MAssively Parallel Photometry (MAPP) projects (such as the MACHO, EROS and OGLE collaborations) will occur for stars too dim to be easily noticed individually by these projects. This is the result of a large magnification bias effect, a bias of including high magnification ev...
