Detection of the 4th caustic crossing in the Gaia16aye binary microlensing system
Abstract
Following the brightening recently detected in the direction of the Gaia16aye binary microlensing system (ATel #9753) and the subsequent prediction for it of the close caustic crossing (ATel #9770) we organized regular observations of the system with the RTT-150 and T-100 telescopes (Antalya, Turkey) and detected the caustic crossing on Nov. 21, 2016, at 17:54 UTC (JD 2457714.246).
