Candidate Gravitational Microlensing Events for Future Direct Lens Imaging
The mass of the lenses giving rise to Galactic microlensing events can be constrained by measuring the relative lens-source proper motion and lens flux. The flux of the lens can be separated from that of the source, companions to the source, and unrelated nearby stars with high-resolution images taken when the lens and source are spatially resolved. For typical ground-based adaptive optics (AO)...
متن کاملStatistics of Gravitational Microlensing Magnification. I. Two-dimensional Lens Distribution
The propagation of light of distant sources through a distribution of clumpy matter, acting as point mass lenses, produces multiple images that contribute to the total brightness of the observed macroimages. In this paper we refine the theory of gravitational microlensing for a planar distribution of point masses. In the second accompanying paper, we extend the analysis to a three-dimensional l...
متن کاملMicrolensing of Central Images in Strong Gravitational Lens Systems
We study microlensing of the faint images that form close to the centers of strong gravitational lens galaxies. These central images, which have finally begun to yield to observations, naturally appear in dense stellar fields and may be particularly sensitive to fine granularity in the mass distribution. Since central images are highly overfocussed (i.e., demagnified compared to an unlensed ima...
متن کاملOn Calculation of Microlensing Light Curve by Gravitational Lens Caustic
Abstract. For an analysis of microlensing observational data in case of binary gravitational lenses as well as for an interpretation of observations of high magnification events in multiple images of a lensed quasar it is necessary to calculate for a given source the microlensing light curve by a fold caustic. This problem comes to the numerical calculation of a singular integral. We formulated...
متن کاملDistortion of gamma-ray burst light curves by gravitational microlensing
If at cosmological distances, a small fraction of gamma-ray bursts should be multiply imaged by intervening galaxies or clusters, resulting in the appearance of two very similar bursts from the same location with a relative time delay of hours to a year. We show that microlensing by individual stars in the lensing galaxy can smear out the light curves of the multiply imaged bursts on millisecon...
