超越焦散线:二元微透镜光变曲线的性质

Beyond Caustic Crossings: Properties of Binary Microlensing Light Curves

Christopher Night, Rosanne Di Stefano, Megan Schwamb

摘要:

二元微透镜光变曲线具有多种形态。许多与点透镜光变曲线是无法区分的。那些偏离点透镜形式,焦散交叉光变曲线往往占主导地位,已确定的二元透镜事件。二元透镜的其他独特特征包括显著的不对称性、多峰和重复事件。我们已经量化,使用高分辨率的模拟,理论上预期的相对数量的每种类型的二元透镜事件,根据其可测量的特性。我们发现,与当前水平的光度不确定性和采样的微透镜调查应该找到至少一样多的非焦散交叉二元透镜事件的焦散交叉事件,在未来的调查与更敏感的光度,独特的非焦散交叉事件的贡献将更大。为了试图解释为什么焦散交叉光变曲线似乎是如此占主导地位的公布的二元透镜事件,我们调查了几个物理效应,包括混合,采样率,和各种二进制人口的影响。

英文摘要:

Binary microlensing light curves have a variety of morphologies. Many are indistinguishable from point lens light curves. Of those that deviate from the point lens form, caustic crossing light curves have tended to dominate identified binary lens events. Other distinctive signatures of binary lenses include significant asymmetry, multiple peaks, and repeating events. We have quantified, using high resolution simulations, the theoretically expected relative numbers of each type of binary lens event, based on its measurable characteristics. We find that a microlensing survey with current levels of photometric uncertainty and sampling should find at least as many non-caustic crossing binary lens events as caustic crossing events; in future surveys with more sensitive photometry, the contribution of distinctive non-caustic crossing events will be even greater. To try to explain why caustic crossing light curves appear to be so dominant among the published binary lensing events, we investigate the influence of several physical effects, including blending, sampling rate, and various binary populations.
