Finite source effect on the polarization degree induced by a single microlens

Astrophysics 2016-08-30 v1

Abstract

We investigate the effect of a single microlens on Stokes parameters. Semi-analytical formulae of the microlensed Stokes parameters are derived. The formulae not only reduce the double integrals in the estimations of those quantities but can also be approximated to a useful form in the bypass case. By using our formulation, we show that a combination of polarimetric data with photometric data enables us to estimate not only the finite source effect but also the direction of the microlens motion.
