10. (2) Limb darkening  You see deeper into a star at the center of it’s disk, then you see at it’s edge. Hot Cool  The limb of a stellar disk is almost always redder/dimmer than the center.

Planet finding comparison Planet around the lens Planet around the source Underlying method Use the background source as a projector Use the intervening lens as a natural telescope What can be learned Mass Location (orbit) Radius Brightness Atmosphere Rings, etc. follow-upno difficulty Comparably easy (even for small planets) Very difficult ~1% photometric effect

23. Summary  Very little information can be learned from purely “vanilla” lensing. You need other effects to break the degeneracy and pin down the system’s physics.  The parallax effect occurs in all cases, but can only be readily detected in very long time scale events (~year) and when the lens is relatively nearby.  Through lensing it is possible to learn about source star’s limb darkening, surface features and planets. Unfortunately the latter is very difficult to do.  Planets around the lensing star should be far easier to detect, unfortunately we won’t be able to learn that much about them.  A microlensing event only happens once, so “real-time astronomy” is required to gather enough data before it’s gone. (You snooze- you loose)
