The Magnified Waltz: Simulating Light Curves of Binary Stars Passing Through Microcaustics in Strong Lensing Galaxy Clusters

Individual stars located near the caustics of galaxy clusters can undergo extreme magnification when crossing microcaustics, rendering them observable even at cosmological distances. Though most massive stars are likely to reside in binary systems rather than as single star, the influence of a binar...
