Incorporating physical source parameters into microlensing modeling
Mateusz J. Mróz, RadosÅaw Poleski, Andrzej Udalski +14
Modeling of complex microlensing events suffers from many difficult-to-disentangle degeneracies. This is especially the case for orbital motion of the source in a binary system, th…
KMT-2024-BLG-0816/OGLE-2024-BLG-0519 -- A Microlensing Event with Candidate Free-Floating Planet Lens and Blended Light
R. Poleski, Y. -H. Ryu, A. Udalski +27
We present the discovery of a free-floating planet microlensing event KMT-2024-BLG-0816. The event shows finite-source effect, significant blending light, and no microlensing signa…
A free-floating-planet microlensing event caused by a Saturn-mass object
Subo Dong, Zexuan Wu, Yoon-Hyun Ryu +39
A population of free-floating planets is known from gravitational microlensing surveys. None have a directly measured mass, owing to a degeneracy with the distance, but the populat…
Constraining Lens Masses in Moderately to Highly Magnified Microlensing Events from Gaia
U. Pylypenko, Å. Wyrzykowski, P. J. MikoÅajczyk +57
Microlensing events provide a unique way to detect and measure the masses of isolated, non-luminous objects, particularly dark stellar remnants. Under certain conditions, it is pos…
Microlensing optical depth, event rate, and limits on compact objects in dark matter based on 20 yr of OGLE observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud
P. Mróz, A. Udalski, M. K. SzymaÅski +12
Some previous studies have suggested that massive and intermediate-mass primordial black holes (PBHs) could comprise a substantial fraction of dark matter in the Universe. Such bla…
The Ultimate I-band Calibration of the TRGB Standard Candle
A. Udalski, D. M. Skowron, J. Skowron +13
We present the ultimate I-band calibration of the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) standard candle. Our calibration is based on photometry from the outer parts of the Large Magel…
