A Search For Stellar-mass Black Holes Via Astrometric Microlensing II: 2012-2015 Keck Candidates
Mace J. Huston, Jessica R. Lu, Casey Y. Lam +58
The Milky Way is expected to host 10 stellar-mass black holes with an uncertain binary fraction. The only proven method to detect isolated stellar mass black holes is gra…
Black hole astrometric binaries in the Roman Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey
Casey Y. Lam, Jessica R. Lu, Kareem El-Badry +6
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman), NASA's next flagship mission, is currently scheduled to launch in August 2026. As part of its mission, Roman will conduct the Galacti…
Assessing the Impact of Binary Systems on Microlensing Using SPISEA and PopSyCLE Population Simulations
Natasha S. Abrams, Jessica R. Lu, Casey Y. Lam +3
Gravitational microlensing provides a unique opportunity to probe the mass distribution of stars, black holes, and other objects in the Milky Way. Population simulations are necess…
Searching for a Hypervelocity White Dwarf Companion: A Proper Motion Survey of SN 1006
Joshua V. Shields, Wolfgang Kerzendorf, Matthew W. Hosek +7
Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) are securely understood to come from the thermonuclear explosion of a white dwarf as a result of binary interaction, but the nature of that binary inter…
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…
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…
An Adaptive Optics Survey of Stellar Variability at the Galactic Center
Abhimat Krishna Gautam., Tuan Do, Andrea M. Ghez +9
We present a year adaptive optics (AO) study of stellar variability and search for eclipsing binaries in the central pc () of the Milky Way nuc…
The Arches Cluster: Extended Structure and Tidal Radius
Matthew W. Hosek, Jessica R. Lu, Jay Anderson +3
At a projected distance of ~26 pc from Sgr A*, the Arches cluster provides insight to star formation in the extreme Galactic Center (GC) environment. Despite its importance, many k…
