A Close Binary Lens Revealed by the Microlensing Event Gaia20bof [PDF]
The Astronomical JournalDuring the last 25 yr, hundreds of binary stars and planets have been discovered toward the Galactic bulge by microlensing surveys. Thanks to a new generation of large-sky surveys, it is now possible to regularly detect microlensing events across the ...

Microlensing for extrasolar planets : improving the photometry [PDF]
, 2013 Gravitational Microlensing, as a technique for detecting Extrasolar Planets, is recognised for its potential in discovering small-mass planets similar to Earth, at a distance of a few Astronomical Units from their host stars.

Microlensing search for extra solar planets [PDF]
, 2015 Gravitational microlensing may be used to probe distant stars for planetary companions. The presence of a planet in the vicinity of a star acting as the lens may cause a short lived anomaly in the observed lightcurve of the lensing event.

Galactic microlensing : binary-lens light curve morphologies and results from the Rosetta spacecraft bulge survey [PDF]
, 2014 For 20 years now, gravitational microlensing observations towards the Galactic bulge have provided us with a wealth of information about the stellar and planetary content of our Galaxy, which is inaccessible via other current methods.

Observations of omega bands using an imaging riometer. [PDF]
, 2009 We present a case study of an omega band cur- rent system from 11 May 1998 using data from the Imaging Riometer for Ionospheric Studies (IRIS) in Finland. For the first time, images of a substorm-related omega band in cos- mic noise absorption are shown.

Microlensing of circumstellar envelopes III. Line profiles from stellar winds in homologous expansion [PDF]
, 2006 This paper examines line profile evolution due to the linear expansion of circumstellar material obsverved during a microlensing event. This work extends our previous papers on emission line profile evolution from radial and azimuthal flow during point ...
