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…

Microlensing Black Hole Shadows-II: Constraining Primordial Black Hole Dark Matter using the photon rings of M87 and Sgr A*

Himanshu Verma, Priyanka Sarmah, Joseph Silk +1

The resolution of photon rings of Sgr~A and M87 is the next milestone of upcoming EHT-like interferometries. We extend the formalism developed in our previous work~\cite{Verma:…

Probing Exotic Astrophysical Dark objects through Astrometric Microlensing from Gaia

Lalit Singh Bhandari, Vikram Rentala, Arun M. Thalapillil +1

We present the first comprehensive study of astrometric microlensing by exotic astrophysical dark objects, focusing on two theoretically motivated models -- Q-ball and boson star.…

Microlensing Black Hole Shadows

Himanshu Verma, Joseph Silk

A detailed analysis is presented of gravitational microlensing by intervening compact objects of the black hole shadows imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). We show how the…

Astrometric Microlensing of Primordial Black Holes with Gaia

Himanshu Verma, Vikram Rentala

The Gaia space telescope allows for unprecedented accuracy for astrometric measurements of stars in the Galaxy. In this work, we explore the sensitivity of Gaia to detect primordia…
