银河系球状星团对微透镜事件的贡献?

Galactic globular clusters contribution to microlensing events?

Fabiana De Luca, Philippe Jetzer

摘要:

在这篇文章中,我们对迄今为止在银河系中心探测到的大量微透镜事件进行了分析,目的是调查一些暗透镜是否位于银河系球状星团中。我们发现,在四种情况下,一些事件可能确实是由于透镜位于球状星团本身。我们也给出了一个粗略的估计的平均透镜质量的事件的子集高度对准银河系球状星团中心,并发现,在合理的假设下,偏转器可能是最有可能的棕矮星,M-星或恒星残骸。

英文摘要:

In this note we perform an analysis of the large set of microlensing events detected so far toward the Galactic center with the purpose of investigating whether some of the dark lenses are located in Galactic globular clusters. We find that in four cases some events might indeed be due to lenses located in the globular clusters themselves. We also give a rough estimate for the average lens mass of the subset of events being highly aligned with Galactic globular cluster centers and find that, under reasonable assumptions, the deflectors could most probably be either brown dwarfs, M-stars or stellar remnants.
