An HST Wide Field Survey of the Galactic Bulge: Overview, Strategy, and First Results

Sean K. Terry, Jay Anderson, Charles A. Beichman +13

We present an HST imaging survey of a 1.1 sq. degree sky area toward the Milky Way Galactic Bulge. This field significantly overlaps with the upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Galactic Bu…

First Observation of CO Emission and foreground absorption Toward the Galactic Center with JWST

J. Qiu, A. Ciurlo, M. R. Morris +11

CO is an important, stable, and abundant molecule in the Universe, but it is very difficult to detect because it has no observable pure rotational transitions. The unique sensi…

Hints of an Anomalous Lens Population towards the Galactic Bulge

Scott E. Perkins, Peter McGill, William A. Dawson +4

The dark and dynamic parts of the Galaxy, including the bulk shape and movement of the Galactic Bulge and characteristics of dark compact object populations, such as a hypothetical…

The Galactic Center in Color: Measuring Extinction with High-Proper-Motion Stars

Z. Haggard, A. M. Ghez, S. Sakai +6

The Milky Way's central parsec is a highly extinguished region with a population of high-proper-motion stars. We have tracked 145 stars for 10 years at wavelengths between 1…

Astrometric Microlensing by Primordial Black Holes with The Roman Space Telescope

James Fardeen, Peter McGill, Scott E. Perkins +5

Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) could explain some fraction of dark matter and shed light on many areas of early-universe physics. Despite over half a century of research interest, a…

The 3D Kinematics of the Orion Nebula Cluster II: Mass-dependent Kinematics of the Inner Cluster

Lingfeng Wei, Christopher A. Theissen, Quinn M. Konopacky +3

We present the kinematic analysis of stars within $4\mbox{$^\prime$}$ from the center of Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC), the closest massive star cluster with active star formati…

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…
