Microlensing Events by Proxima Centauri in 2014 and 2016
... In the case of microlensing events due to nearby stars, the foreground star will almost always be much brighter than the background source, making it difficult to measure its astrometric shift of the fainter background star. The contamination from the foreground star reduces when the lens-source sep ...
