Nearby microlensing events: identification of the candidates for the Space Interferometry Mission.
SALIM S. and GOULD A.
Abstract (from CDS):
For Hipparcos and ACT lenses, the lens distance and lens-source impact parameter are precisely determined so that the events are well characterized. We present 32 candidates beginning with a 61 Cyg A event in 2012 that requires only a few minutes of SIM time. Proxima Centauri and Barnard's star each generate several events. For NLTT lenses, the distance is known only to a factor of 3, and the impact parameter only to 1''. Together, these produce uncertainties of a factor ∼10 in the amount of SIM time required. We present a list of 146 NLTT candidates and show how single-epoch CCD photometry of the candidates could reduce the uncertainty in SIM time to a factor of ∼1.5.
