Hexadecapole Approximation in Planetary Microlensing
The frequency of microlensing planet detections, particularly in difficult-tomodel high-magnification events, is increasing. Their analysis can require tens of thousands of processor hours or more, primarily because of the high density and high precision of measurements whose modeling requires time-consuming finitesource calculations. I show that a large fraction of these measurements, those th...
متن کاملPlanetary Microlensing: from Prediction to Discovery
Four planets have recently been discovered by gravitational microlensing. The most recent of these discoveries is the lightest planet known to exist around a normal star. The detection of planets in gravitational microlensing events was predicted over a decade ago. Microlensing is now a mature field of astrophysical research and the recent planet detections herald a new chapter in the hunt for ...
متن کاملProperties of Central Caustics in Planetary Microlensing
To maximize the number of planet detections, current microlensing follow-up observations are focusing on high-magnification events which have a higher chance of being perturbed by central caustics. In this paper, we investigate the properties of central caustics and the perturbations induced by them. We derive analytic expressions of the location, size, and shape of the central caustic as a fun...
متن کاملPlanet Parameters in Microlensing Events
A planetary microlensing event occurs when a planet perturbs one of the two images created in a point-mass microlensing event, causing a deviation from the standard Paczyński curve. Determination of the two physical parameters that can be extracted from a planetary microlensing event, the planet/star mass ratio q, and the planet/star separation in units of the stellar Einstein ring, yp, is hamp...
متن کاملCorrelations between meteorological parameters and prostate cancer
BACKGROUND There exists a north-south pattern to the distribution of prostate cancer in the U.S., with the north having higher rates than the south. The current hypothesis for the spatial pattern of this disease is low vitamin D levels in individuals living at northerly latitudes; however, this explanation only partially explains the spatial distribution in the incidence of this cancer. Using a...
