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…
