The Polarisation Signatures of Microlensing

arXiv:astro-ph/9807184 · doi:10.1016/S1387-6473(98)00032-3

Abstract

It has already been shown that microlensing can give rise to a non-zero variable polarisation signal. Here we use realistic simulations to demonstrate the additional information that can be gained from polarimetric observations of lensing events.
