The Impact of Initial-Final Mass Relations on Black Hole Microlensing
Sam Rose, Casey Y. Lam, Jessica R. Lu +5
Uncertainty in the initial-final mass relation (IFMR) has long been a problem in understanding the final stages of massive star evolution. One of the major challenges of constraini…
Primordial Black Hole Dark Matter Simulations Using PopSyCLE
K. Pruett, W. Dawson, M. S. Medford +6
Primordial black holes (PBHs), theorized to have originated in the early universe, are speculated to be a viable form of dark matter. If they exist, they should be detectable throu…
An isolated mass gap black hole or neutron star detected with astrometric microlensing
Casey Y. Lam, Jessica R. Lu, Andrzej Udalski +42
We present the analysis of five black hole candidates identified from gravitational microlensing surveys. Hubble Space Telescope astrometric data and densely sampled lightcurves fr…
60 Microlensing Events from the Three Years of Zwicky Transient Facility Phase One
Michael S. Medford, Natasha S. Abrams, Jessica R. Lu +2
Microlensing events have historically been discovered throughout the Galactic bulge and plane by surveys designed solely for that purpose. We conduct the first multi-year search fo…
