Wave optics in the exoplanet microlensing observation

By: Sohrab Rahvar (SUT)

Abstract

I will briefly review the exoplanet observation with microlensing method and its importance on habitable planet detection. Then I will introduce a new observational method for microlensing observation with radio telescope for detecting diffraction pattern in the astronomical scale. This method may open a new window for the microlensing observations. Details on this subject can be seen in arXiv:1207.4034.
