Spin vectors in the Koronis family: IV. Completing the sample of its largest members after 35 years of study
Stephen M. Slivan, Matthew Hosek, Max Kurzner +17
An observational study of Koronis family members' spin properties was undertaken with two primary objectives: to reduce selection biases for object rotation period and lightcurve a…
The Star Formation History of the Milky Way's Nuclear Star Cluster
Zhuo Chen, Tuan Do, Andrea M. Ghez +6
We report the first star formation history study of the Milky Way's nuclear star cluster (NSC) that includes observational constraints from a large sample of stellar metallicity me…
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…
AIROPA IV: Validating Point Spread Function Reconstruction on Various Science Cases
Sean K. Terry, Jessica R. Lu, Paolo Turri +7
We present an analysis of six independent on-sky datasets taken with the Keck-II/NIRC2 instrument. Using the off-axis point spread function (PSF) reconstruction software AIROPA, we…
Measuring the Orbits of the Arches and Quintuplet Clusters using HST and Gaia: Exploring Scenarios for Star Formation Near the Galactic Center
Matthew W. Hosek, Tuan Do, Jessica R. Lu +4
We present new absolute proper motion measurements for the Arches and Quintuplet clusters, two young massive star clusters near the Galactic center. Using multi-epoch HST observati…
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…
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…
