A Search For Stellar-mass Black Holes Via Astrometric Microlensing II: 2012-2015 Keck Candidates

Mace J. Huston, Jessica R. Lu, Casey Y. Lam +58

The Milky Way is expected to host 10 stellar-mass black holes with an uncertain binary fraction. The only proven method to detect isolated stellar mass black holes is gra…

Candidate Microlensing Brown Dwarfs in Binary Lens Systems from the 2023--2025 Observing Seasons

Cheongho Han, Andrzej Udalski, Ian A. Bond +62

We present detailed light-curve analyses of ten binary-lens microlensing events observed during the 2023--2025 seasons and selected as candidates for hosting brown-dwarf companions…

Six binary brown dwarf candidates identified by microlensing

Cheongho Han, Chung-Uk Lee, Ian A. Bond +57

In this study, we analyze microlensing events from the 2023 and 2024 observing seasons to identify cases likely caused by binary systems composed of BDs. By applying criteria that…

KMT-2022-BLG-0086: Another binary-lens binary-source microlensing event

Sun-Ju Chung, Kyu-Ha Hwang, Jennifer C. Yee +40

We present the analysis of a microlensing event KMT-2022-BLG-0086 of which the overall light curve is not described by a binary-lens single-source (2L1S) model, which suggests the…

KMT-2021-BLG-0284, KMT-2022-BLG-2480, and KMT-2024-BLG-0412: Three microlensing events involving two lens masses and two source stars

Cheongho Han, Andrzej Udalski, Ian A. Bond +59

We carried out a project involving the systematic analysis of microlensing data from the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network survey. The aim of this project is to identify lensing…

OGLE-2015-BLG-0845L: A low-mass M dwarf from the microlensing parallax and xallarap effects

Zhecheng Hu, Wei Zhu, Andrew Gould +51

We present the analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-0845, which was affected by both the microlensing parallax and xallarap effects. The former was detected via the sim…

An Isolated Stellar-Mass Black Hole Detected Through Astrometric Microlensing

Kailash C. Sahu, Jay Anderson, Stefano Casertano +90

We report the first unambiguous detection and mass measurement of an isolated stellar-mass black hole (BH). We used the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to carry out precise astrometry…
