Microlensing Animations

These animations are free for public use, I only ask that you acknowledge me if you use them in a public format, i.e. during talks or presentations.

For the most part, the animations are self-explanatory; however if you have a question, or uncover an error, please let me know via email: gaudi@sns.ias.edu

Note that, for some of the planetary microlensing simulations, I do not show the five images that are created.
