Chromaticity Effects in Microlensing by Wormholes

Year: 2001

Type: article

Abstract: Chromaticity effects introduced by the finite source size in microlensing events by presumed natural wormholes are studied. It is shown that these effects provide a specific signature that allow to discriminate between ordinary and negative mass lenses through the spectral analysis of the microlensing events. Both galactic and extragalactic situations are discussed.
