Microlensing by gas filaments
Gas in the interstellar matter is generally organized in filamentary structures, which may be also relevant for a complementary explanation of the dark matter in the Galactic halo. We examine the possibility that such structures may act as gravitational microlenses on background sources. To this purpose, we derive the general properties of a cylindrical lens and compare the light curves produce...
متن کاملMicrolensing by Compact Objects associated to Gas Clouds
We investigate gravitational microlensing of point-like lenses surrounded by diffuse gas clouds. Besides gravitational bending, one must also consider refraction and absorption phenomena. According to the cloud density, the light curves may suffer small to large deviations from Paczyński curves, up to complete eclipses. Moreover, the presence of the cloud endows this type of microlensing events...
متن کاملCosmic Walls and Filaments Formation in Modied Chaplygin Gas Cosmology
We want to study the perturbation growth of an initial seed of an ellipsoidal shape in Top-Hat collapse model of the structure formation in the Modied Chaplygin gas cosmology. Considering reasonable values of the constants and the parameters of the model under study, we can show that a very small deviation from spherical symmetry (ellipsoidal geometry) in the initial seed leads to a nal highly ...
متن کاملIdentifying Microlensing by Binaries
The microlensing monitoring programs have studied large numbers of standard light curves which seem to be due to lensing by a dark point mass. Theory predicts that many microlensing events should display significant deviations from the standard form. Lens binarity in particular is expected to be common. So far, however, only a handful of light curves exhibit evidence that the lens is a binary; ...
متن کاملSurface Imaging by Microlensing
Gravitational microlensing is a new technique for studying the surfaces of distant stars. A point mass lens, usually a low-mass star from the disk, will typically resolve the surface of a red giant in the Galactic bulge, as well as amplify its brightness by a factor of 10 or more. Such events are now detected in real time and can be followed up with precision photometry and spectroscopy. The mo...
