Binary Black Hole Mergers from Planet-like Migrations
Andrew Gould, Hans-Walter Rix
If supermassive black holes (BHs) are generically present in galaxy centers, and if galaxies are built up through hierarchical merging, BH binaries are at least temporary features…
Can Heavy WIMPs Be Captured by the Earth?
Andrew Gould, S. M. Khairul Alam
If weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) in bound solar orbits are systematically driven into the Sun by solar-system resonances (as Farinella et al. have shown is the case…
Nearby Microlensing Events - Identification of the Candidates for the SIM
Samir Salim, Andrew Gould
The Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) is the instrument of choice when it comes to observing astrometric microlensing events where nearby, usually high-proper-motion stars (``lens…
Limits on Stellar and Planetary Companions in Microlensing Event OGLE-1998-BUL-14
M. D. Albrow, J. -P. Beaulieu, J. A. R. Caldwell +17
We present the PLANET photometric data set for \ob14, a high magnification () event alerted by the OGLE collaboration toward the Galactic bulge in 1998. The PLA…
Measuring the Remnant Mass Function of the Galactic Bulge
Andrew Gould
I show that by observing microlensing events both astrometrically and photometrically, the Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) can measure the mass function of stellar remnants in t…
The Initial Mass Function of the Galactic Bulge Down to ~0.15 Msun
M. Zoccali, S. Cassisi, J. A. Frogel +5
We present a luminosity function (LF) for lower main sequence stars in the Galactic bulge near (l,b)=(0,-6) to J=24, corresponding to M_J~9.3. This LF is derived from HST + NICMOS…
A New Kinematic Distance Estimator to the LMC
Andrew Gould
The distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) can be directly determined by measuring three of its properties, its radial-velocity field, its mean proper motion, and the positio…
A New Argument Against An Intervening Stellar Population Toward the LMC
Andrew Gould
Zaritsky & Lin have claimed detection of an intervening population of stars toward the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) which, they believe, could account for a substantial fraction of…
