Type II-P Supernova Progenitor Star Initial Masses and SN 2020jfo: Direct Detection, Light Curve Properties, Nebular Spectroscopy, and Local Environment
Charles D. Kilpatrick, Luca Izzo, Rory O. Bentley +23
We present optical, ultraviolet, and infrared data of the type II supernova (SN II) 2020jfo at 14.5 Mpc. This wealth of multiwavelength data allows to compare different metrics com…
A Search for Predicted Astrometric Microlensing Events by Nearby Brown Dwarfs
Judah Luberto, Emily C. Martin, Peter McGill +3
Gravitational microlensing has the potential to provide direct gravitational masses of single, free-floating brown dwarfs, independent of evolutionary and atmospheric models. The p…
First semi-empirical test of the white dwarf mass-radius relationship using a single white dwarf via astrometric microlensing
Peter McGill, Jay Anderson, Stefano Casertano +15
In November 2019, the nearby single, isolated DQ-type white dwarf LAWD 37 (WD 1142-645) aligned closely with a distant background source and caused an astrometric microlensing even…
Predictions of Gaia's prize microlensing events are flawed
Peter McGill, Andrew Everall, Douglas Boubert +1
Precision astrometry from the second Gaia data release has allowed astronomers to predict 5,787 microlensing events, with 528 of these having maximums within the extended Gaia miss…
Ongoing astrometric microlensing events from VVV and Gaia
Peter McGill, Leigh C. Smith, N. Wyn Evans +2
We extend predictive microlensing event searches using the Vista Variables in the Via Lactea survey and the second Gaia data release. We identify two events with maxima in 2019 tha…
Microlens mass determination for Gaia's predicted photometric events
Peter McGill, Leigh C. Smith, N. Wyn Evans +2
We used Gaia Data Release 2 to search for upcoming photometric microlensing events, identifying two candidates with high amplification. In the case of candidate 1, a spectrum of th…
