Source and lens trajectories for a simulated microlensing event with a binary lens. The solid black line is the primary lens, the solid purple line is the secondary lens, the orange point is the source position, and the solid yellow lines are the image positions. The green line is the flux-weighted average of the lensed source position, as observed on the sky. Note that magS = 16. The Einstein radius is 4.5 mas. We use the following orbital parameters: ωpri = 30°, Ωsec = 10°, i = 90°, e = 0.6, P = 1054.41 days, and an angular separation of 5 mas between the two lenses at tcom,0,⊙. We present our simulation over tE = 412.02 days. The lenses have a mass of mL,p = 10 M⊙ and mL,s = 5 M⊙. The source is stationary.
