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.

  1. Assessing the Impact of Binary Systems on Microlensing Using SPISEA and PopSyCLE Population Simulations

    astro-ph.SR 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Adding binary and triple systems to microlensing population simulations predicts that 55% of OGLE-like events involve a multiple system, most of which masquerade as single-star events.
