The BAGLE Python Package for Bayesian Analysis of Gravitational Lensing Events
J. R. Lu, M. Medford, C. Y. Lam +8
We present the open-source Python package, BAGLE (Bayesian Analysis of Gravitational Lensing Events), which enables modeling and joint fitting of photometric and astrometric data s…
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…
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…
Primordial Black Hole Dark Matter Simulations Using PopSyCLE
K. Pruett, W. Dawson, M. S. Medford +6
Primordial black holes (PBHs), theorized to have originated in the early universe, are speculated to be a viable form of dark matter. If they exist, they should be detectable throu…
Astro2020: From Stars to Compact Objects: The Initial-Final Mass Relation
Jessica R. Lu, Casey Lam, Will Dawson +5
One of the key phases of stellar evolution that remains poorly understood is stellar death. We lack a predictive model for how a star of a given mass explodes and what kind of remn…
Dark Matter Science in the Era of LSST
Keith Bechtol, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Kevork N. Abazajian +177
Astrophysical observations currently provide the only robust, empirical measurements of dark matter. In the coming decade, astrophysical observations will guide other experimental…
Probing the Fundamental Nature of Dark Matter with the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope
Alex Drlica-Wagner, Yao-Yuan Mao, Susmita Adhikari +97
Astrophysical and cosmological observations currently provide the only robust, empirical measurements of dark matter. Future observations with Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST…
Near-infrared and Millimeter-wavelength Observations of Mol 160: A Massive Young Protostellar Core
Grace Wolf-Chase, Michael Smutko
We have discovered two compact sources of shocked H2 2.12-micron emission coincident with Mol 160 (IRAS 23385+6053), a massive star-forming core thought to be a precursor to an ult…
