The former companion of the hyper-velocity star S5-HVS1
Wenbin Lu, Jim Fuller, Yael Raveh +4
The hyper-velocity star S5-HVS1, ejected 5 Myr ago from the Galactic Center at 1800 km/s, was most likely produced by tidal break-up of a tight binary by the supermassive black hol…
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…
Consistency of the Infrared Variability of Sgr A* over 22 years
Zhuo Chen, E. Gallego-Cano, T. Do +14
We report new infrared measurements of the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center, Sgr A*, over a decade that was previously inaccessible at these wavelengths. This enables…
Unprecedented variability of Sgr A* in NIR
Tuan Do, Gunther Witzel, Abhimat K. Gautam +10
The electromagnetic counterpart to the Galactic center supermassive black hole, Sgr A*, has been observed in the near-infrared for over 20 years and is known to be highly variable.…
The Quintuplet Cluster: Extended Structure and Tidal Radius
Nicholas Z. Rui, Matthew W. Hosek, Jessica R. Lu +4
The Quintuplet star cluster is one of only three known young ( Myr) massive (M M) clusters within pc of the Galactic Center. In order to explore star…
Astro2020 Science White Paper: Local Dwarf Galaxy Archaeology
Alexander P. Ji, Rachel Beaton, Sukanya Chakrabarti +8
Nearby dwarf galaxies are local analogues of high-redshift and metal-poor stellar populations. Most of these systems ceased star formation long ago, but they retain signatures of t…
