Detection and Characterization of Microlensing Events due to Isolated Black Holes towards the Magellanic Clouds in the Rubin Observations

Sedighe Sajadian, Martin Makler

Gravitational microlensing surveys potentially discover isolated black holes (IBHs) at large distances through their gravitational effects on apparent brightness and motion of coll…

The Last Stand Before Rubin: a consolidated sample of strong lensing systems in wide-field surveys

Renan Alves de Oliveira, João Paulo C. França, Martín Makler

As the Vera Rubin Observatory begins its ten-year survey in 2025, it will probe key observables such as strong lensing (SL) by galaxies and clusters. In preparation for this new er…

Search for reactor-produced millicharged particles with Skipper-CCDs at the CONNIE and Atucha-II experiments

Alexis A. Aguilar-Arevalo, Nicolas Avalos, Pablo Bellino +37

Millicharged particles, proposed by various extensions of the standard model, can be created in pairs by high-energy photons within nuclear reactors and can interact electromagneti…

Constraints on the generalized Chaplygin gas from supernovae observations

Martin Makler, Sergio Quinet de Oliveira, Ioav Waga

We explore the implications of type Ia supernovae (SNIa) observations on flat cosmological models whose matter content is an exotic fluid with equation of state, p=-M^(4(a+1))/rho^…
