On the possibility of an astronomical detection of chromaticity effects in microlensing by wormhole-like objects

Abstract

We study the colour changes induced by blending in a wormhole-like microlensing scenario with extended sources. The results are compared with those obtained for limb darkening. We assess the possibility of an actual detection of the colour curve using the difference image analysis method.
