Black-Hole Formation Accompanied by the Supernova Explosion of a 40-M Progenitor Star
Adam Burrows, David Vartanyan, Tianshu Wang
We have simulated the collapse and evolution of the core of a solar-metallicity 40-M star and find that it explodes vigorously by the neutrino mechanism. This despite its…
The Gravitational-Wave Signature of Core-Collapse Supernovae
David Vartanyan, Adam Burrows, Tianshu Wang +2
We calculate the gravitational-wave (GW) signatures of detailed 3D core-collapse supernova simulations spanning a range of massive stars. Most of the simulations are carried out to…
The Essential Character of the Neutrino Mechanism of Core-Collapse Supernova Explosions
Tianshu Wang, David Vartanyan, Adam Burrows +1
Calibrating with detailed 2D core-collapse supernova simulations, we derive a simple core-collapse supernova explosion condition based solely upon the terminal density profiles of…
Neutral Gas within 20,000 Schwarzschild radii of Sagittarius A*
Elena M. Murchikova, Tianshu Wang, Brian Mason +1
Murchikova et al 2019 discovered a disk of cool ionized gas within 20,000 Schwarzschild radii of the Milky Way's Galactic Center black hole Sagittarius A*. They further demonstrate…
Systematic KMTNet Planetary Anomaly Search, Paper I: OGLE-2019-BLG-1053Lb, A Buried Terrestrial Planet
Weicheng Zang, Kyu-Ha Hwang, Andrzej Udalski +69
In order to exhume the buried signatures of "missing planetary caustics" in the KMTNet data, we conducted a systematic anomaly search to the residuals from point-source point-lens…
Light Curve Calculations for Triple Microlensing Systems
Renkun Kuang, Shude Mao, Tianshu Wang +2
We present a method to compute the magnification of a finite source star lensed by a triple lens system based on the image boundary (contour integration) method. We describe a new…
A Generalized Kompaneets Formalism for Inelastic Neutrino-Nucleon Scattering in Supernova Simulations
Tianshu Wang, Adam Burrows
Based on the Kompaneets approximation, we develop a robust methodology to calculate spectral redistribution via inelastic neutrino-nucleon scattering in the context of core-collaps…
OGLE-2015-BLG-1771Lb: A Microlens Planet Orbiting an Ultracool Dwarf?
Xiangyu Zhang, Weicheng Zang, Andrzej Udalski +31
We report the discovery and the analysis of the short (tE < 5 days) planetary microlensing event, OGLE-2015-BLG-1771. The event was discovered by the Optical Gravitational Lensing…
KMT-2016-BLG-1836Lb: A Super-Jovian Planet From A High-Cadence Microlensing Field
Hongjing Yang, Xiangyu Zhang, Kyu-Ha Hwang +24
We report the discovery of a super-Jovian planet in the microlensing event KMT-2016-BLG-1836, which was found by the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network's high-cadence observation…
OGLE-2018-BLG-1011L\lowercase{b,c}: Microlensing Planetary System with Two Giant Planets Orbiting a Low-mass Star
Cheongho Han, David P. Bennett, Andrzej Udalski +70
We report a multiplanetary system found from the analysis of microlensing event OGLE-2018-BLG-1011, for which the light curve exhibits a double-bump anomaly around the peak. We fin…
OGLE-2018-BLG-0532Lb: Cold Neptune With Possible Jovian Sibling
Yoon-Hyun Ryu, Andrzej Udalski, Jennifer C. Yee +34
We report the discovery of the planet OGLE-2018-BLG-0532Lb, with very obvious signatures in the light curve that lead to an estimate of the planet-host mass ratio $q=M_{\rm planet}…
Parallax of OGLE-2018-BLG-0596: A Low-mass-ratio Planet around an M-dwarf
Youn Kil Jung, Andrew Gould, Andrzej Udalski +63
We report the discovery of a microlensing planet OGLE-2018-BLG-0596Lb, with preferred planet-host mass ratio . The planetary signal, which is chara…
Spitzer Microlensing parallax reveals two isolated stars in the Galactic bulge
Weicheng Zang, Yossi Shvartzvald, Tianshu Wang +90
We report the mass and distance measurements of two single-lens events from the 2017 Spitzer microlensing campaign. The ground-based observations yield the detection of finite-sour…
OGLE-2017-BLG-1186: first application of asteroseismology and Gaussian processes to microlensing
Shun-Sheng Li, Weicheng Zang, Andrzej Udalski +102
We present the analysis of the event OGLE-2017-BLG-1186 from the 2017 Spitzer microlensing campaign. This is a remarkable microlensing event because its source is photometrically b…
