Microlensing by Cosmic Strings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We consider the signature and detectability of gravitational microlensing of distant quasars by cosmic strings. Because of the simple image configuration such events will have a characteristic light curve, in which a source would appear to brighten by ...

Gravitational Lensing of Charged Ayon‐Beato‐Garcia Black Holes and Nonlinear Effects of Maxwell Fields

open access: yesAdvances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Nonsingular Ayon‐Beato‐Garcia (ABG) spherically symmetric static black hole (BH) with charge to mass ratio q = g/2m is metric solution of Born Infeld nonlinear Maxwell‐Einstein theory. Central region of the BH behaves as (anti‐)de Sitter for (|q | > 1) | q | < 1.

Higher order corrections in gravitational microlensing [PDF]

open access: yesPhysics Letters A, 1999
We show that, in cosmological microlensing, corrections of order $v/c \sim / $, to the deflection angle of light beams from a distant source are not negligible and that all microlensing quantities should be corrected up to this order independently of the cosmological model used.

Bose‐Einstein Condensate Dark Matter Halos Confronted with Galactic Rotation Curves

open access: yesAdvances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
We present a comparative confrontation of both the Bose‐Einstein Condensate (BEC) and the Navarro‐Frenk‐White (NFW) dark halo models with galactic rotation curves. We employ 6 High Surface Brightness (HSB), 6 Low Surface Brightness (LSB), and 7 dwarf galaxies with rotation curves falling into two classes.

New Constraints on Quasar Broad Absorption and Emission Line Regions from Gravitational Microlensing

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2017
Gravitational microlensing is a powerful tool allowing one to probe the structure of quasars on sub-parsec scale. We report recent results, focusing on the broad absorption and emission line regions.

Estimating Finite Source Effects in Microlensing Events due to Free‐Floating Planets with the Euclid Survey

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
In recent years free‐floating planets (FFPs) have drawn a great interest among astrophysicists. Gravitational microlensing is a unique and exclusive method for their investigation which may allow obtaining precious information about their mass and spatial distribution.

The Microlensing Planet Finder: Completing the Census of Extrasolar Planets in the Milky Way

open access: yes, 2004
The Microlensing Planet Finder (MPF) is a proposed Discovery mission that will complete the first census of extrasolar planets with sensitivity to planets like those in our own solar system.

Possibility of Detection of Exomoons with Inclined Orbits Orbiting Pulsar Planets Using the Time‐of‐Arrival Analysis

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
The perturbation caused by planet‐moon binarity on the time‐of‐arrival (TOA) signal of a pulsar with an orbiting planet is derived for the case of the orbit of the planet‐moon system inclined of an angle α with respect to the plane of the orbit of the planet‐moon barycenter around the pulsar.

Two Micron‐Size Dark Dimensions

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 73, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Two extra dimensions of micron scale might simultaneously address the gauge and cosmological hierarchy problems. In this paper various observational bounds in scenarios with one and two large extra dimensions are examined, to see if they are compatible with the micron scale.
