Microlensing: Prospects for the Future
Andrew Gould
Four ongoing microlensing experiments have produced important new results but also big puzzles, the major one being that the expected classes of lenses cannot account for the obser…
The Hollywood Strategy for Microlensing Detection of Planets
Andrew Gould
Follow the big stars! I review the theory of detection and parameter measurement of planetary systems by follow-up observations of ongoing microlensing events. Two parameters can g…
Finite Source Effects in Microlensing Events
Andrew Gould, Cedric Gaucherel
The computation of the magnification of a finite source by an arbitrary gravitational lens can be reduced from a two-dimensional to a one-dimensional integral using a generalizatio…
Extreme Microlensing
Andrew Gould
Extreme microlensing events, defined as events with maximum magnification $A_\max\gsim 200$ are a potentially powerful probe of the mass spectrum and spatial distribution of object…
