Gravitational Microlensing in NUT Space
arXiv:astro-ph/0204282 · doi:10.1046/j.1365-8711.2003.06137.x
Abstract
We study the theoretical signature of magnetic masses on the light curve of gravitational microlensing effect in NUT space. The light curves for microlensing events in NUT space are presented and contrasted with those due to lensing produced by normal matter. In the next step, associating magnetic mass to massive astrophysical compact objects (MACHOs), we try to see its effect on the light curves of microlensing candidates observered by the MACHO group. Presence or absence of this feature in the observed microlensing events can shed light on the question of the existence of magnetic masses in the Universe.
