Probability of compact object detection by means of Microlensing

Ahmad Mehraby (Sharif Univ. of Tech.)

Abstract:
In a binary system that a component is compact object and another one
is White dwarf or main sequence star, when star or White dwarf passes behind compact object the light of it can amplify under suitable condition.
We simulate such binary system and estimate probability detection.
also we show if such system be detected and radial velocity of star is
obtained via Doppler effect, all parameter will be obtained.
