Signs of the cusps in binary lenses
نویسنده
چکیده
The cusps of the caustics of any gravitational lens model can be classified into positive and negative ones. This distinction lies on the parity of the images involved in the creation/destruction of pairs occurring when a source crosses a caustic in a cusp. In this paper, we generalize the former definition of the sign of the cusps. Then we apply it to the binary lens. We demonstrate that the cusps on the axis joining the two lenses are positive while the others are negative. To achieve our objective, we combine catastrophe theory, usually employed in the derivation of the properties of caustics, with perturbative methods, in order to simplify calculations and get readable results. Extensions to multiple lenses are also considered.

Reflection Symmetry of Cusps in Gravitational Lensing
Criticality in graviational microlensing is an everyday issue because that is what generates microlensing signals which may be of photon-challenged compact objects such as black holes or planetary systems ET calls home. The criticality of these quasi-analytic lenses is intrinsically quadratic, and the critical curve behaves as a mirror generating two mirror images along the image line (‖ ±E−) a...

متن کاملSecondary caustics in close multiple lenses
We investigate the caustic structure of a lens composed by a discrete number of point–masses, having mutual distances smaller than the Einstein radius of the total mass of the system. Along with the main critical curve, it is known that the lens map is characterized by secondary critical curves producing small caustics far from the lens system. By exploiting perturbative methods, we derive the ...
متن کاملCusped Mass Models of Gravitational Lenses
Recent observations of galaxy luminosity profiles and dark matter simulations find luminosity and mass distributions characterized by central cusps rather than finite core radii. We introduce and implement a set of cusped ellipsoidal lens models which include limits similar to the Jaffe, Hernquist, η and NFW models and apply them to the gravitational lenses APM 08279+5255 and B 1933+503. A succ...
