The impact of blending on the photometry (top panel) and astrometry (middle, bottom panels) for a microlensing event. In this case, all blending is assumed to come from a luminous lens. The complete set of model parameters for the PSPL_PhotAstrom_Par_Param1 model shown is ML = 1 M⊙, t0,⊙ = 57000 MJD, XS,0,⊙ = [0″, 0″], β = 0.4 mas, ﹩{{\boldsymbol{\mu }}}_{{\bf{S}}}=[0,0]﹩ mas yr−1, ﹩{{\boldsymbol{\mu }}}_{{\rm{L}}}=[5,0]﹩ mas yr−1, dL = 2 kpc, dS = 6 kpc, αL = 262﹩\mathop{.}\limits^{\unicode{x000b0}}﹩5, and δL = −29°. Note, in the middle panel, the orange line is under the dark purple line.
