Gravitational microlensing and the galactic halo [PDF]

Physical Review D, 1996
By means of extensive galactic modeling we study the implications of the more than eighty microlensing events that have now been observed for the composition of the dark halo of the Galaxy, as well as for other properties of the Galaxy. We take the Galaxy to be comprised of luminous and dark disk components, a bulge, and a dark halo consisting of both ...

Microlensing

, 2016
Context. Observations of the effect of microlensing in gravitationally lensed quasars could potentially be used to study the structure of the source on very small distance scales – down to the size of the supermassive black hole, that powers the quasar ...

On the chromatic aberration of microlenses

Optics Express, 2006
The optical properties of plano-convex refractive microlenses with low Fresnel Number (typically FN < 10) are investigated. It turns out that diffraction effects at the lens aperture limit the range of the effective focal length. The upper limit of the focal length is determined by the diffraction pattern of a pinhole with equal diameter.

Gaia22dkvLb: A Microlensing Planet Potentially Accessible to Radial-velocity Characterization

The Astronomical Journal
We report discovering an exoplanet from following up a microlensing event alerted by Gaia. The event Gaia22dkv is toward a disk source rather than the traditional bulge microlensing fields. Our primary analysis yields a Jovian planet with ${M}_{{\rm{p}}}=

The Variable Sky Through the OGLE Eye

Universe
The Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) is one of the most productive and influential photometric sky surveys in the history of observational astronomy. Originally designed to detect dark matter through gravitational microlensing events, OGLE

Microlensing Signatures of Dyson Sphere–like Structures around Primordial Black Holes as Technosignatures of Extraterrestrial Advanced Civilizations

The Astrophysical Journal
We investigate the microlensing detectability of extraterrestrial technosignatures originating from Dyson sphere-like structures, such as Dyson swarms surrounding primordial black holes.

Microlensed microchip VECSEL

Optics Express, 2007
We report a 1.055-mum microchip VECSEL array which uses a microlens-patterned diamond both as a heatspreader and as an array of concave output mirrors. This configuration, which is suitable for laser array operation, is here exploited to perform a systematic study of a set of microchip lasers with the same semiconductor structure but different cavity ...

OGLE-2017-BLG-0448Lb: A Low Mass–Ratio Wide-orbit Microlensing Planet?

The Astronomical Journal
The gravitational microlensing technique is most sensitive to planets in a Jupiter-like orbit and has detected more than 200 planets. However, only a few wide-orbit ( s > 2) microlensing planets have been discovered, where s is the planet-to-host ...
