GRAVITATIONAL MICROLENSING AND EXTENDED SOURCE MODELS
Journal Title: Odessa Astronomical Publications - Year 2014, Vol 27, Issue 1
Abstract
We perform statistical simulations of light curves of extended microlensed sources having different brightness distribution in the source plane. We generated a set of realizations of lensing point mass system that takes into account an external shear, these include 12000 point masses which are uniformly distributed in the lens plane. The list of the circular symmetric source models used includes gaussian, limbdarkening, power law and Shakura-Sunyaev accretion disk models observed face-on. We estimated difference &eta, between the amplification curves (an analog of the light curves) for these different source models. This difference appears to be considerable, in some cases it amounts up to &sim, 10%. However, the effect of theshear within limits = 0 ÷, 0.5 is not considerable, though it leads to some diminishing of &eta,.

Hα LINE AS AN INDICATOR OF ENVELOPE PRESENCE AROUND THE CEPHEID POLARIS Aa (α UM i)
We present the results of the radial velocity (RV ) measurements of metallic lines as well as Hα (Hβ ) obtained in 55 high-resolution spectra of the Cepheid α UMi (Polaris Aa) in 1994–2010. While the RV amplitudes of the...
CORRELATION OF THE NUMBER OF IMAGES OF AN N-POINT GRAVITATIONAL LENS AND THE NUMBER OF SOLUTIONS OF ITS SYSTEM
In this paper, we study the correlation between the number of solutions of a system of lens equations and the number of source images that a gravitational lens has. We defined the concept of an image in a gravitational l...
STABILITY OF STELLAR SYSTEMS ORBITING SGR A*
Path equations of different orbiting objects in the presence of very strong gravitational fields are essential to examine the impact of its gravitational effect on the stability of each system. Implementing an analogous...
MICROWAVE EMISSION OF SOLAR FLARES: CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS AND SHOCK WAVES
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) mostly affect the geomagnetic field. These structures are observed and studied with coronagraphic images thereforewe don’t see the corona in the plane of the sky and the measurements of the...
DETAILED MORPHOLOGY OF THE RICH CONCENTRATED GALAXY CLUSTERS
The results of the detailed analysis of the 2D distribution of galaxies in 28 rich galaxy clusters with significant concentration to the cluster center are present. The analysis was executed in these directions: the detec...
