ASTROMETRIC MICROLENSING BY LOCAL DARK MATTER SUBHALOS [PDF]
, 2011 High-resolution N-body simulations of dark matter halos indicate that the Milky Way contains numerous subhalos. When a dark matter subhalo passes in front of a star, the light from that star will be deflected by gravitational lensing, leading to a small ...

Expectations on mass determination using astrometric microlensing by
, 2020 Context. Astrometric gravitational microlensing can be used to determine the mass of a single star (the lens) with an accuracy of a few percent. To do so, precise measurements of the angular separations between lens and background star with an accuracy ...

Determination of the mass of nearby stars from astrometric microlensing observations [PDF]
, 2001 The possibility of determining, with a precision of 10%, the mass of bright, nearby stars by means of astrometric microlensing observations is investigated in the context of the future ground-based and spaceborne high precision astrometric instruments ...

Astrometric microlensing of quasars : dependence on surface mass density and external shear
, 2004 A small fraction of all quasars are strongly lensed and multiply imaged, with usually a galaxy acting as the main lens. Some, or maybe all of these quasars are also affected by microlensing, the effect of stellar mass objects in the lensing galaxy ...
