Scientific paper

Using the astrometry of microlensing events we study the effect of angular momentum as compared to that of the parallax. For a rotating lens it is shown that the effect of the angular momentum deviates the center of images from that in the simple standard microlensing. This effect could be observed by future astrometry missions such as GAIA and SIM for lenses with angular momentum $S\gtrsim \times 10^{48} kg m^2 sec^{-1}$. It is shown that for extreme black hole lenses the corresponding mass should be more than $10^3 M_{\odot}$.
