The Chromaticity of Microlensing
نویسنده
چکیده
Gravitational microlensing is not achromatic when the star being microlensed is resolved by the lens. We show how narrow-band photometry and moderateto high-resolution spectroscopy can be used to reconstruct the stellar surface intensity distribution of a microlensed star. Such microlens imaging can provide a unique opportunity to study the surfaces of normal red giants where Doppler imaging is not applicable due to slow rotation.

Microlensing 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 کاملOrigin of Chromatic Features in Multiple Quasars Variability, Dust, or Microlensing
Aims. In some of the lensed quasars, color differences between multiple images are observed at optical/near-infrared wavelengths. There are three possible origins of the color differences: intrinsic variabilities of quasars, differential dust extinction, and quasar microlensing. We examine how these three possible scenarios can reproduce the observed chromaticity. Methods. We evaluate how much ...
متن کاملThe effect of variation of stellar dispersion velocities by the galactic latitude in interpreting gravitational microlensing observations
Our galaxy is a spiral galaxy and its stars are mostly in a thin disk and rotate around the galactic center. The vertical component of the dispersion velocity of stars is a function of the galactic latitude and decreases with increasing it. In the galactic Besancon model, this dependence is ignored and they just consider the dependence of dispersion velocity on the stellar age. Becanson model i...
متن کاملChromaticity of Turan Graphs with At Most Three Edges Deleted
Let $P(G,lambda)$ be the chromatic polynomial of a graph $G$. A graph $G$ ischromatically unique if for any graph $H$, $P(H, lambda) = P(G,lambda)$ implies $H$ is isomorphic to $G$. In this paper, we determine the chromaticity of all Tur'{a}n graphs with at most three edges deleted. As a by product, we found many families of chromatically unique graphs and chromatic equivalence classes of graph...
متن کاملA new result on chromaticity of K4-homoemorphs with girth 9
For a graph $G$, let $P(G,lambda)$ denote the chromatic polynomial of $G$. Two graphs $G$ and $H$ are chromatically equivalent if they share the same chromatic polynomial. A graph $G$ is chromatically unique if any graph chromatically equivalent to $G$ is isomorphic to $G$. A $K_4$-homeomorph is a subdivision of the complete graph $K_4$. In this paper, we determine a family of chromatically uni...
