Constraining Lens Masses in Moderately to Highly Magnified Microlensing Events from Gaia

U. Pylypenko, Ł. Wyrzykowski, P. J. Mikołajczyk +57

Microlensing events provide a unique way to detect and measure the masses of isolated, non-luminous objects, particularly dark stellar remnants. Under certain conditions, it is pos…

Discovery of a dormant 33 solar-mass black hole in pre-release Gaia astrometry

Gaia Collaboration, P. Panuzzo, T. Mazeh +412

Gravitational waves from black-hole merging events have revealed a population of extra-galactic BHs residing in short-period binaries with masses that are higher than expected base…

Dark lens candidates from Gaia Data Release 3

K. Kruszyńska, Ł. Wyrzykowski, K. A. Rybicki +48

Gravitational microlensing is a phenomenon that allows us to observe dark remnants of stellar evolution even if they no longer emit electromagnetic radiation. In particular, it can…

Dark lenses through the dust: parallax microlensing events in the VVV

Zofia Kaczmarek, Peter McGill, N. Wyn Evans +4

We use near-infrared photometry and astrometry from the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey to analyse microlensing events containing annual microlensing parallax inform…
