چکیده
We present a fast algorithm to produce light curves of distant stars undergoing microlensing near critical curves. The need these type algorithms is motivated by recent observations events at high redshift and extreme magnification factors. relies on low-resolution computation the deflection field due an ensemble microlenses curves, takes advantage slowly varying nature infer unresolved images.

Discovering Galactic Planets by Gravitational Microlensing: Magnification Patterns and Light Curves
The current searches for microlensing events towards the galactic bulge can be used to detect planetary companions around the lensing stars. The effect of such planets is a short-term modulation on the smooth microlensing lightcurve produced by the main lensing star. Current and planned experiments should be sensitive enough to discover planets ranging from Jupiter mass down to Earth mass. In o...
متن کاملQuantitative Interpretation of Quasar Microlensing Light Curves
We develop a general method for analyzing the light curves of microlensed quasars and apply it to the OGLE light curves of the four-image lens Q2237+0305. We simultaneously estimate the effective source velocity, the average stellar mass, the stellar mass function, and the size and structure of the quasar accretion disk. The light curves imply an effective source plane velocity of 10200 km/s <∼...
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...
متن کاملA Fast Algorithm for Covering Rectangular Orthogonal Polygons with a Minimum Number of r-Stars
Introduction This paper presents an algorithm for covering orthogonal polygons with minimal number of guards. This idea examines the minimum number of guards for orthogonal simple polygons (without holes) for all scenarios and can also find a rectangular area for each guards. We consider the problem of covering orthogonal polygons with a minimum number of r-stars. In each orthogonal polygon P,...
متن کاملAsymmetry in Microlensing-Induced Light Curves
We discuss distortion in microlensing-induced light curves which are considered to be curves due to single-point-mass lenses at a first glance. As factors of the distortion, we consider close binary and planetary systems, which are the limiting cases of twopoint-mass lenses, and the gravitational potential is regarded as the sum of the single point mass and the corrections. In order to quantita...
