Exoplanetary searches with gravitational microlensing: polarization issues
A. F. Zakharov, G. Ingrosso, F. De Paolis +4
There are different methods for finding exoplanets such as radial spectral shifts, astrometrical measurements, transits, timing etc. Gravitational microlensing (including pixel-len…
STE-QUEST - Test of the Universality of Free Fall Using Cold Atom Interferometry
D. Aguilera, H. Ahlers, B. Battelier +63
The theory of general relativity describes macroscopic phenomena driven by the influence of gravity while quantum mechanics brilliantly accounts for microscopic effects. Despite th…
MOND and IMF variations in early-type galaxies from
C. Tortora, A. J. Romanowsky, V. F. Cardone +2
MOdified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) represents a phenomenological alternative to dark matter (DM) for the missing mass problem in galaxies and clusters of galaxies. We analyze the c…
Cosmological Parameter Determination in Free-Form Strong Gravitational Lens Modeling
M. Lubini, M. Sereno, J. Coles +2
We develop a novel statistical strong lensing approach to probe the cosmological parameters by exploiting multiple redshift image systems behind galaxies or galaxy clusters. The me…
Polarization in binary microlensing events
G. Ingrosso, F. De Paolis, A. A. Nucita +5
The light received by source stars in microlensing events may be significantly polarized if both an efficient photon scattering mechanism is active in the source stellar atmosphere…
Microlensing towards the SMC: a new analysis of OGLE and EROS results
S. Calchi Novati, S. Mirzoyan, Ph. Jetzer +1
We present a new analysis of the results of the EROS-2, OGLE-II, and OGLE-III microlensing campaigns towards the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Through a statistical analysis we add…
