Gravitational microlensing: results and perspectives in brief
Abstract
Description
Basics of standard theory of microlensing are introduced. Results of microlensing observations toward Magellanic Clouds and relations with dark matter (DM) problem in our Galaxy are described. Pixel microlensing observations and recent discoveries of planets with microlensing observations are listed.
