Microlensing towards the LMC: self lensing for OGLE-II and OGLE-III

S. Calchi Novati, L. Mancini

We present an analysis of the results of the OGLE-III microlensing campaign towards the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We evaluate for all the possible lens populations along the li…

LMC self lensing for OGLE-II microlensing observations

S. Calchi Novati, L. Mancini, G. Scarpetta +1

In the framework of microlensing searches towards the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), we discuss the results presented by the OGLE collaboration for their OGLE-II campaign \citep{luk…

Gravitational Lensing of stars in the central arcsecond of our Galaxy

V. Bozza, L. Mancini

In the neighborhood of Sgr A*, several stars (S2, S12, S14, S1, S8, S13) enjoy an accurate determination of their orbital parameters. General Relativity predicts that the central b…

Microlensing by gas filaments

V. Bozza, L. Mancini

Gas in the interstellar matter is generally organized in filamentary structures, which may be also relevant for a complementary explanation of the dark matter in the Galactic halo.…

Gravitational Lensing by Black Holes: a comprehensive treatment and the case of the star S2

V. Bozza, L. Mancini

Light rays passing very close to a black hole may experience very strong deviations. Two geometries were separately considered in the recent literature: a source behind the black h…

Microlensing towards the Large Magellanic Cloud

Ph. Jetzer, L. Mancini, G. Scarpetta

The nature and the location of the lenses discovered in the microlensing surveys done so far towards the LMC remain unclear. Motivated by these questions we compute the optical dep…
