Using this simulated X-ray binary disc, we find that a very exciting result:
The spin and temperature profile of a black hole can be discerned by studying how much their light is magnified during a microlensing event! 4/4

With co-authors Matthew Middleton and Adam McMaster, maps showing how the brightness of X-ray binaries, for a given black hole spin and temperature profile, vary with distance were then generated! 3/4

In this work we started by generating mock microlensing events caused by white dwarfs moving in front of X-ray sources in the Andromeda galaxy (M31)! For each of these events, we use the angular separation between the white dwarf and source to calculate the resulting magnification A. 2/4

These are so cool!! I am in need of some JWST earrings..
