Astrometric Lensing - What Gaia can and cannot do
Context: Data from the recently launched astrometric satellite Gaia will be coming in soon with the final data release expected in 2022. This will provide a very precise map of the Galaxy. The Solar system and Galaxy is thought to be filled with invisible bodies (planetesimals, planets, brown dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes, etc.) and they will affect the observations via gravitational lensing.
