Where are the binary source galactic microlensing events?

Astrophysics 2011-05-23 v1

Abstract

Though there have been some galactic microlensing events which show a clear signature of a binary lens, no event has yet been claimed as due to lensing of a binary source. Here I argue that this may be due to the fact that most of the binary source events show light curves which can be fitted with the simpler model of a blended single source.
