A microlensing event as viewed from heliocentric SSB (orange) and true geocentric (purple) perspectives. We note that the heliocentric SSB frame is rectilinear while the true geocentric frame is noninertial. The separation, ∣u⊙(t)∣ (top), and amplification, A(t) (bottom), illustrate the differences between u0,⊙ and ﹩{{\boldsymbol{u}}}_{{\bf{0}},{\oplus }_{r}}﹩ and t0,⊙ and ﹩{t}_{0,{\oplus }_{r}}﹩. The complete list of heliocentric SSB parameters for this event are αL = 262﹩\mathop{.}\limits^{\unicode{x000b0}}﹩5, δL = −30°, t0,⊙ = 60,000, ML = 0.1 M⊙, β = 0.1 mas, XS,0,⊙ = [0.0, 0.1] mas, μL,⊙ = [0, 0] mas yr−1, μS,⊙ = [3, 0] mas yr−1, dL = 3 kpc, dS = 8 kpc, and bsff = 1.0.
