Microlensing effects and structure of gravitational lens systems

A study of gravitational microlensing of distant objects is presented. We performed simulations of light curves and trajectories of the image centroid of an extended source in the Chang–Refsdal lens with shear and continual dark matter. Various brightness distributions over the source (Gaussian, pow...

Zusammenfassung:A study of gravitational microlensing of distant objects is presented. We performed simulations of light curves and trajectories of the image centroid of an extended source in the Chang–Refsdal lens with shear and continual dark matter. Various brightness distributions over the source (Gaussian, power-law, Shakura–Synyaev accretion disc) have been studied. We considered in detail approximate relations and corresponding algorithms used to fit observational data on high amplification events (HAE). The results are applied to interpretation of HAE observed by OGLE and GLITP groups. The source size and caustic crossing moment are estimated from these data, however, the determination of the brightness profile is statistically not reliable.
