| contents | We propose a novel microlensing event search method that differs from either the traditional time domain method, astrometric microlensing, or the parallax microlensing method. Our method assumes that stars with nearly identical "genes" - normalized Spectral Energy Distributions (SED) bear the same luminosity within the intrinsic scatter due to stellar properties. Given a sample of stars with similar normalized SEDs, the outliers in luminosity distribution can be considered microlensing events by excluding other possible variations. In this case, we can select microlensing events from archive data rather than time domain monitoring the sky, which we describe as static microlensing. Following this concept, we collect the data from Gaia DR3 and SDSS DR16 from the northern galactic cap at high galactic latitudes. This area is not preferable for normal microlensing search due to the low stellar density and, therefore, low discovery rate. By applying a similarity search algorithm, we find 5 microlensing candidates in the Galactic halo. |
