A Complete Set of Solutions For Caustic-Crossing Binary Microlensing Events
We present a method to analyze binary-lens microlensing light curves with one well-sampled fold caustic crossing. In general, the surface of χ shows extremely complicated behavior over the 9-parameter space that characterizes binary lenses. This makes it difficult to systematically search the space and verify that a given local minimum is a global minimum. We show that for events with well-moni...
متن کاملA systematic fitting scheme for caustic-crossing microlensing events
We outline a method for fitting binary-lens caustic-crossing microlensing events based on the alternative model parametrization proposed and detailed by Cassan. As an illustration of our methodology, we present an analysis of OGLE-2007-BLG-472, a double-peaked Galactic microlensing event with a source crossing the whole caustic structure in less than three days.

متن کاملThe rate of caustic crossing microlensing events for Q2237+0305
Spectrophotometric observations of the gravitationally microlensed quasar Q2237+0305 during a High Magnification Event (HME) is potentially a very powerful tool for probing the structure of the quasars accretion disc on scales of ∼ 10 arc seconds. In cases where the HME is produced by a single caustic (SHME), microlensing induced changes in the spectrum during the event may be used to directly ...
متن کاملAn alternative parameterisation for binary-lens caustic-crossing events
Aims. Microlensing events are being discovered and alerted by the two survey teams OGLE and MOA at an increasing rate. Around ten percent of these events involve binary lenses. Such events potentially contain much information on the physical properties of the observed binary systems, which can then be used for e.g. statistical studies on binary objects in the Galactic disk or bulge. However, su...
متن کاملA radio - microlensing caustic crossing in B 1600 + 434 ?
First, we review the current status of the detection of strong ‘external’ variability in the CLASS gravitational B1600+434, focusing on the 1998 VLA 8.5–GHz and 1998/9 WSRT multi-frequency observations. We show that this data can best be explained in terms of radiomicrolensing. We then proceed to show some preliminary results from our new multi-frequency VLA monitoring program, in particular th...
