Enabling Metallicity Measurements of Microlensing Lenses through Multi-band Lens Photometry

We present the photometric--microlensing metallicity method, which enables metallicity measurements of M-dwarf lenses out to bulge distances by combining their multi-band photometry with the angular Einstein radius.

We present the photometric--microlensing metallicity method, which enables metallicity measurements of M-dwarf lenses out to bulge distances by combining their multi-band photometry with the angular Einstein radius. The cool atmospheres of M dwarfs contain abundant molecules,…
