PopSyCLE: A New Population Synthesis Code for Compact Object Microlensing Events
Casey Y. Lam, Jessica R. Lu, Matthew W. Hosek +2
We present a new Milky Way microlensing simulation code, dubbed PopSyCLE (Population Synthesis for Compact object Lensing Events). PopSyCLE is the first resolved microlensing simul…
Astro2020: From Stars to Compact Objects: The Initial-Final Mass Relation
Jessica R. Lu, Casey Lam, Will Dawson +5
One of the key phases of stellar evolution that remains poorly understood is stellar death. We lack a predictive model for how a star of a given mass explodes and what kind of remn…
Primordial Black Hole Microlensing: The Einstein Crossing Time Distribution
Jessica R. Lu, Casey Y. Lam, Michael Medford +2
Gravitational microlensing is one of the few means of finding primordial black holes (PBHs), if they exist. Recent LIGO detections of 30 Msun black holes have re-invigorated the se…
Dark Matter Science in the Era of LSST
Keith Bechtol, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Kevork N. Abazajian +177
Astrophysical observations currently provide the only robust, empirical measurements of dark matter. In the coming decade, astrophysical observations will guide other experimental…
