Relativistic corrections to astrometric shifts due to gravitational microlensing
Gravitational microlensing has proved to be a versatile astrophysical tool. Recently, the question of whether higher order relativistic corrections can influence the observable properties of microlensing has been addressed. This letter extends earlier studies, investigating higher order relativistic terms in astrometric shifts during microlensing events, revealing that they produce no effects. ...
متن کاملQuasar Image Shifts due to Gravitational Microlensing
Gravitational microlensing of quasars by stars in external galaxies can introduce fluctuations in the centroid of the “point-like” macro–images. The induced shifts are extremely small, on micro–arcsecond scales, below the limits of current optical observations. However, such shifts will become measurable with the proposed “Space Interferometry” mission, due to fly in 2005. The degree of the cen...
متن کاملExtended Source Effects in Astrometric Gravitational Microlensing
Extended source size effects have been detected in photometric monitoring of gravitational microlensing events. We study similar effects in the centroid motion of an extended source lensed by a point mass. We show that the centroid motion of a source with uniform surface brightness can be obtained analytically. For a source with circularly symmetric limb-darkening profile, the centroid motion c...
متن کاملAstrometric Shifts in the OGLE-1 Microlensing Events
We measure the astrometric shifts of the light centroids for the microlensing events in the OGLE-1 database. Of the 15 consistently detected events, 7 had significant shifts which we were able to measure with a fair degree of confidence. Those events with large shifts are also expected to be unresolved with a background “blend”, and thus, we suggest that we have identified events in the OGLE-1 ...
متن کاملHigher Order Corrections in Gravitational Microlensing
We show that, in cosmological microlensing, corrections of order v/c ∼ ∆λ/λ, to the deflection angle of light beams from a distant source are not negligible and that all microlensing quantities should be corrected up to this order independently of the cosmological model used. keywords: microlensing, redshift, cosmology. In the last decade, gravitational lensing has become one of the most powerf...
