Planetesimal Disk Microlensing
Motivated by debris disk studies, we investigate the gravitational microlensing of background starlight by a planetesimal disk around a foreground star. We use dynamical considerations to construct a plausible model of a planetesimal disk and study its microlensing properties using established ideas of microlensing by small bodies. When a solar-type source star passes behind a planetesimal disk...
متن کاملPlanetesimal Disk Evolution Driven by Planetesimal-planetesimal Gravitational Scattering
We investigate the process of an inhomogeneous planetesimal disk evolution caused by the planetesimal-planetesimal gravitational scattering. We develop a rather general approach based on the kinetic theory which self-consistently describes the evolution in time and space of both the disk surface density and its kinematic properties — dispersions of eccentricity and inclination. The gravitationa...
متن کاملdisk-disk microlensing
We present a new long-duration parallax event from the OGLE-II database, sc5 2859, which has the second longest time-scale ever identified (tE = 547.6 +22.6 −7.8 days). We argue that both the lens and source reside in the Galactic disk, making event sc5 2859 one of the first confirmed examples of so-called disk-disk microlensing. We find that the source star is most probably located at a distan...
متن کاملPlanetesimal disk evolution driven by embryo-planetesimal gravitational scattering
The process of gravitational scattering of planetesimals by a massive protoplanetary embryo is explored theoretically. We propose a method to describe the evolution of the disk surface density, eccentricity, and inclination caused by the embryoplanetesimal interaction. It relies on the analytical treatment of the scattering in two extreme regimes of the planetesimal epicyclic velocities: shear-...
متن کاملMicrolensing of disk sources
We analyse the effects on the predictions for the microlensing searches toward the Galactic bulge coming from the fact that not all the stars monitored belong to the bulge itself, but that a non–negligible fraction of them actually are in the Galactic disk. The different distribution and motions of these disk stars make their associated microlensing rates and event duration distributions to be ...
