Incorporating physical source parameters into microlensing modeling

Mateusz J. Mróz, Radosław Poleski, Andrzej Udalski +14

Modeling of complex microlensing events suffers from many difficult-to-disentangle degeneracies. This is especially the case for orbital motion of the source in a binary system, th…
