未来天基巡天微透镜引起的恒星变化中的色移测量

Color-Shift Measurement in Microlensing-Induced Stellar Variation from Future Space-Based Surveys

Byeong-Gon Park, Cheongho Han

摘要:

如果微透镜事件是由恒星引起的,则该事件可以由于来自透镜的光而表现出颜色的变化。在以前和现在的透镜观测中,色偏不能用来限制透镜群,因为造成色偏的混合光主要归因于附近的背景恒星,而不是透镜。然而,在未来的天基调查中观察到的事件不会受到混合的影响,因此颜色信息可以用于约束透镜。在本文中,我们证明了有用的未来调查测量色偏。通过进行模拟银河系透镜事件的基础上提出的空间为基础的透镜调查的规范,我们估计,在$R-H$的颜色的变化将被测量在5 $σ$水平的$\sim 12%$的事件发生在源星上的视星等比$J=22.5$。色移事件往往有很高的放大率,透镜的亮度相当于源星的亮度。色移事件的时间尺度往往比没有色移的时间尺度长。从透镜的质量分布来看,大部分色移事件都是由光谱类型低至M型主序星的恒星透镜产生的。

英文摘要:

If a microlensing event is caused by a star, the event can exhibit change in color due to the light from the lens. In the previous and current lensing surveys, the color shift could not be used to constrain the lens population because the blended light responsible for the color shift is mostly attributed to nearby background stars rather than the lens. However, events to be observed in future space-based surveys do not suffer from blending and thus the color information can be used to constrain lenses. In this paper, we demonstrate the usefulness of future surveys in measuring color shifts. By conducting simulation of galactic lensing events based on the specification of a proposed space-based lensing survey, we estimate that the shift in the color of $R-H$ will be measured at 5$σ$ level for $\sim 12%$ of events that occur on source stars with apparent magnitudes brighter than $J=22.5$. Color-shifted events tend to have high magnifications and the lenses will have brightnesses equivalent to those of source stars. The time scales of the color-shifted events tend to be longer than those without color shifts. From the mass distribution of lenses, we find that most of the color-shifted events will be produced by stellar lenses with spectral types down to mid M-type main sequence stars.
