Two Micron‐Size Dark Dimensions
Fortschritte 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.

Astronomical Signatures of Dark Matter
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Several independent astronomical observations in different wavelength bands reveal the existence of much larger quantities of matter than what we would deduce from assuming a solar mass to light ratio. They are very high velocities of individual galaxies within clusters of galaxies, higher than expected rotation rates of stars in the outer regions of ...

Modeling Binary Lenses and Sources with the BAGLE Python Package
The Astrophysical JournalGravitational microlensing is a powerful tool that can be used to find and measure the mass of isolated and dark compact objects. In many microlensing events, the lens, the source, or both may be binary systems.

Detecting Multiplanetary Systems with Gravitational Microlensing and the Roman Space Telescope
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 It is plausible that most of the Stars in the Milky Way Galaxy, like the Sun, consist of planetary systems, instead of a single planet. Out of the estimately discovered 3980 planet-hosting stars, about 860 of them are known to be multiplanetary systems ...

Die Suche nach kalten, fremden Welten
Physik in unserer Zeit, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 140-147, May 2024.Die meisten der heute bekannten extrasolaren Planeten umkreisen ihren Mutterstern auf engen Umlaufbahnen in weniger als 100 Tagen. Gesteinsplaneten mit größeren Bahnradien sind von herausragender Bedeutung für Theorien der Planetenentstehung. Die Mikrogravitationslinsenmethode bietet eine hervorragende Möglichkeit, solche Planeten zu finden – und das ...

Analytical Methods in Gravitational Microlensing
International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 We discuss analytical results dealing with photometric and astrometric gravitational microlensing. The first two sections concern approximation methods that allow us to get solutions of the general lens equation near fold caustics and cusp points up to any prescribed accuracy.

Dark Matter Halos from the Inside Out
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011 The balance of evidence indicates that individual galaxies and groups or clusters of galaxies are embedded in enormous distributions of cold, weakly interacting dark matter. These dark matter “halos” provide the scaffolding for all luminous structures in the universe, and their properties comprise an essential part of the current cosmological model.

Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011 Dark matter is one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in cosmology at the present time. About 80% of the Universe′s gravitating matter is nonluminous, and its nature and distribution are for the most part unknown. In this paper, we will outline the history, astrophysical evidence, candidates, and detection methods of dark matter, with the goal to give ...

Detectability of microlensed gravitational waves
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 ABSTRACT Gravitational lensing describes the bending of the trajectories of light and gravitational waves due to the gravitational potential of a massive object. Strong lensing by galaxies can create multiple images with different overall amplifications, arrival times, and image types. If, furthermore, the gravitational wave encounters a
