Astrometric Microlensing by Primordial Black Holes with The Roman Space Telescope
James Fardeen, Peter McGill, Scott E. Perkins +5
Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) could explain some fraction of dark matter and shed light on many areas of early-universe physics. Despite over half a century of research interest, a…
Disentangling the Black Hole Mass Spectrum with Photometric Microlensing Surveys
Scott Ellis Perkins, Peter McGill, William Dawson +8
From the formation mechanisms of stars and compact objects to nuclear physics, modern astronomy frequently leverages surveys to understand populations of objects to answer fundamen…
Microlensing Discovery and Characterization Efficiency in the Vera C. Rubin Legacy Survey of Space and Time
Natasha S. Abrams, Markus P. G. Hundertmark, Somayeh Khakpash +11
The Vera C. Rubin Legacy Survey of Space and Time will discover thousands of microlensing events across the Milky Way Galaxy, allowing for the study of populations of exoplanets, s…
A hidden population of massive white dwarfs: two spotted K+WD binaries
D. M. Rowan, T. Jayasinghe, M. A. Tucker +10
The identification and characterization of massive () white dwarfs is challenging in part due to their low luminosity. Here we present two candidate single-lin…
Roman CCS White Paper: Characterizing the Galactic population of isolated black holes
Casey Y. Lam, Natasha Abrams, Jeff Andrews +34
Although there are estimated to be 100 million isolated black holes (BHs) in the Milky Way, only one has been found so far, resulting in significant uncertainty about their propert…
Maximizing science return by coordinating the survey strategies of Roman with Rubin, and other major facilities
R. A. Street, S. Gough-Kelly, C. Lam +13
[Abridged] The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will be one of several flagship survey facilities operating over the next decade starting 2025. The deep near-IR imaging that…
The Galactic Center with Roman
Sean K. Terry, Matthew W. Hosek, Jessica R. Lu +31
We advocate for a Galactic center (GC) field to be added to the Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey (GBTDS). The new field would yield high-cadence photometric and astrometric measur…
LSST Survey Strategy in the Galactic Plane and Magellanic Clouds
R. A. Street, X. Li, S. Khakpash +16
Galactic science encompasses a wide range of subjects in the study of the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds, from Young Stellar Objects to X-ray Binaries. Mapping these populations,…
