Theory of Microlensing
Abstract
I present a somewhat selective review of microlensing theory, covering five major areas: 1) the derivation of the basic formulae, 2) the relation between the observables and the fundamental physical parameters, 3) binaries, 4) astrometric microlensing, and 5) femtolensing.
