The Polarisation Signatures of Microlensing
A. M. Newsam, J. F. L. Simmons, M. A. Hendry +1
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 th…

Microlensing of Extended Stellar Sources
M. A. Hendry, I. J. Coleman, N. Gray +2
We investigate the feasibility of reconstructing the radial intensity profile of extended stellar sources by inverting their microlensed light curves. Using a simple, linear, limb…

Inversion of polarimetric data from eclipsing binaries
I J Coleman, N Gray, J F L Simmons
We describe a method for determining the limb polarization and limb darkening of stars in eclipsing binary systems, by inverting photometric and polarimetric light curves. Because…
