Microlensing path parameterization for Earth-like exoplanet detection around solar mass stars
de Almeida, do Nascimento
Propose a new parameterization of the impact parameter u0 and impact angle alpha for microlensing systems composed by an Earth-like Exoplanet around a Solar mass star at 1 AU. Present the caustic topology of such system, as well as the related light curves generated by using such a new parameterization. Based on the same density of points and accuracy of regular methods, obtain results 5 times faster for discovering Earth-like exoplanet. In this big data revolution of photometric astronomy, the method will impact future missions like WFIRST (NASA) and Euclid (ESA) and their data pipelines, providing a rapid and deep detection of exoplanets for this specific class of microlensing event that might otherwise be lost.
