Applications of Exoplanet Microlensing Technique

-- viewing now

Microlensing, a powerful exoplanet detection technique, leverages the gravitational lensing effect of stars. When a star passes in front of a more distant star, its gravity bends and magnifies the light of the background star.

About this course

This microlensing event reveals the presence of planets orbiting the foreground star, altering the light curve's shape and duration. Exoplanet microlensing is particularly sensitive to low-mass planets and planets far from their host stars. This method complements other exoplanet detection techniques like radial velocity and transit methods. It provides valuable insights into the distribution and diversity of planetary systems in our galaxy. Microlensing studies contribute to our understanding of planet formation and evolution.
