An Updated SynthPop Model for Microlensing Simulations I: Model Description & Evaluation
Macy J. Huston, Alison L. Crisp, Marz Newman +21
The optimization and interpretation of microlensing surveys depends on having an accurate model of the Milky Way. However, existing population synthesis Galactic modeling tools oft…
Technique-agnostic exoplanet demography for the Roman era -- I. Testing a demography retrieval framework using simulated Kepler-like transit datasets
Akshay Priyadarshi, Eamonn Kerins, Michael D. Albrow +41
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman) will unveil for the first time the full architecture of planetary systems across Galactic distances through the discovery of up to 200…
Predictions of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Galactic Exoplanet Survey. V. Detection Rates of Multiplanetary Systems in High Magnification Microlensing Events
Vito Saggese, Ãtienne Bachelet, Sebastiano Calchi Novati +34
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will expand the reach of gravitational microlensing surveys by increasing the number of events monitored and the precision of their light curv…
Predictions of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Galactic Exoplanet Survey. IV. Lens Mass and Distance Measurements
Sean K. Terry, Etienne Bachelet, Farzaneh Zohrabi +54
As part of the Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey (GBTDS), the Nancy Grace Roman Galactic Exoplanet Survey (RGES) will use microlensing to discover cold outer planets and free-float…
Prospects for Reconstructing the Free-floating Planet Mass Function at the Population Level with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope
William DeRocco, Matthew T. Penny, Samson A. Johnson +2
Free-floating planets comprise one of the most enigmatic populations of exoplanets in the Galaxy. Though ground-based observations point to a large abundance of these worlds, littl…
SynthPop: A New Framework for Synthetic Milky Way Population Generation
Jonas Klüter, Macy J. Huston, Abigail Aronica +6
We present SynthPop, a new open source, modular population synthesis Galactic modeling software to simulate catalogs of Milky Way stars along any sightline outward from the Sun. Mo…
