Astrophysical applications of gravitational
microlensing(II)By Shude Mao

Basics of GM: Lens Events
Fig1
Basics of GM: Light Curve
Fig.2 a standard light curve of GM
Basics of GM: Light Curve
Fig.3 The left pic. shows the process of a lens event. The pic. above is an example of light curve(Paczynski 1986)
Basics of GM: Critical Curves and Caustic
Fig.4 Critical curves and caustic in a binary system
Application of GM1.Detect the main composition in the galactic halo.
2.Detect the galactic structure. With analyzing the optical depth and event rate.3.Analyze the stellar atmosphere and bulge formation Microlensing can magnify the signal-to-noise ratio.4.Detect exoplanets
Application of GM: Detection of Exoplanets
The presence of the planet perturbs the image positions and magnifications
In fact it can create one or three extra images Fig.4

Application of GM: Detection of Exoplanets
• About 20% of stars host Jupiter-mass planets (between 0.3 and 10Jupiter masses) while cool Neptunes (10 − 30M⊕) and super-Earths (5 − 10M⊕) are even more common: their abundances per star are close to 60%.(Cassan et al.)
• Free-floating planets may be common: ~ 1.8 per star

Application of GM: Galaxy Structure
From the detections of MACHOs by microlensing, it is concluded that only ≤2%of the halo could be MACHOs. While earlier research 20%.
Fig.8 Where are they looking?
Future of GM• There are still much problems unsolved in the calculation of GM. e.g.
The degenerate in the parallax events; how to distinguish exoplanet system with binary system; the number of critical curves and image numbers in a topological sense.• There are more and more collaborations participate in the detection
of GM like OGLE, MOA, SKYMAPPER and so on. Chinese scientists also make their distributions.
