Wave Optics Effects in Microlensing of a Binary Lenses
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Rahvar, Sohrab (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this thesis, we investigate two subjects in gravitational microlensing. In first part we study wave optics effect in light curve of a binary system. Gravitational lensing occurs when light deflects in a gravitational field. This deflection produces multi-images from real one. In microlensing regime, images can not be detected separately and gravitational lensing appears as magnifying source’s flux . Microlensing has been studied mostly in geometric optics regime. At larger wavelengths, mostly at radio wavelengths, we expect to see the effects of wave optics in microlensing. Stars at radio wave are faint and to detect them we need a powerful radio telescope. In the near future, SKA (Square...
