Resumen:
We analyze the effects on the predictions for the microlensing searches
toward the Galactic bulge arising from the fact that not all the stars
monitored belong to the bulge itself, but a nonnegligible fraction of
them are actually in the Galactic disk. The different distribution and
motions of these disk stars make their associated microlensing rates and
event duration distributions quite different from those of the bulge
stars. We discuss the uncertainties in these predictions associated with
the modeling of the Galactic components and the main implications
resulting from the inclusion of this second source population.
