Geometry and parameters used to calculate interferometric visibility of an extended source star lensed by a single lens. In both panels the Einstein ring is shown as the black dotted circle, and both axes are in θE units. u1 ≥ 0 is the position of the centre of the source along the yE-axis, u+ and u are the intersections of the black line (polar angle θ) with the contour of the source, and () and () are their respective images given by the single-lens equation. Arc-like images are shown in the left panel (0 < η1 < 1, where η1 = p/u1), while the case of a single ring-like image (η1 > 1) is shown on the right.
