从恒星引力微透镜观测中寻找奇异物质

Search for exotic matter from gravitational microlensing observations of stars

M. B. Bogdanov, A. M. Cherepashchuk

摘要:

我们认为小规模的球状星团的弱相互作用的大质量粒子在我们的银河系作为非紧凑的引力微透镜,并预测焦散的外观在一个透镜源的平面。这些焦散线与透镜恒星的交叉可以产生各种各样的光变曲线,包括在实际微透镜事件中观察到的一些光变曲线,这些光变曲线被解释为双星引力透镜的表现。我们还考虑在引力微透镜的恒星的非零角大小与一个给定的亮度分布在其磁盘上的自然虫洞和对象的时空环境描述与NUT度量这样一个异国情调的对象。我们证明,在一定条件下,微透镜的光变曲线,颜色和偏振效应,由于透镜的性质和星盘亮度分布可以有很大的不同,从观察到的史瓦西引力透镜,使他们的分析可以促进识别这样的对象。

英文摘要:

We consider small-scale spheroidal clusters of weakly interacting massive particles in our Galaxy as non-compact gravitational microlenses and predict the appearance of caustics in the plane of a lensed source. The crossing of these caustics by a lensed star can produce a large variety of light curves, including some observed in actual microlensing events that have been interpreted as manifestations of binary gravitational lenses. We consider also observable effects during the gravitational microlensing of stars of non-zero angular size with a given brightness distribution across their disks by such an exotic objects as natural wormholes and objects whose space-time environment is described with the NUT metric. We demonstrate that, under certain conditions, the microlensing light curves, chromatic and polarizational effects due to the properties of the lens and the star disk brightness distributions can differ considerably from those observed for a Schwarzschild gravitational lens, so that their analysis can facilitate the identification of such objects.
