Orbital motion changes binary-lens caustic-crossing cross sections dramatically in specific geometries but averages to ~0.1% over a realistic Milky Way population, leaving a predicted caustic-crossing rate of 6.3% among u0<1 events.

Rate of caustic crossing microlensing events in stellar binary lenses with significant orbital motion
Orbital motion changes binary-lens caustic-crossing cross sections dramatically in specific geometries but averages to ~0.1% over a realistic Milky Way population, leaving a predicted caustic-crossing rate of 6.3% among u0<1 events.
