Modeling the microlensing of circumbinary systems
arXiv:2109.14557
Abstract
Gravitational microlensing is one of the methods to detect exoplanets; planets outside our solar system. Here we focus on theoretical modeling of three lens systems and in particular circumbinary systems. Circumbinary systems include two stars and a planet and are estimated to make up a sizable portion of all exoplanets. Extending a method developed for binary lenses to the three lens case, we explore the parameter space of circumbinary systems producing exact magnification maps and light curves.
