Strong deflection limit analysis of black hole lensing in inhomogeneous plasma
Fabiano Feleppa, Valerio Bozza, Oleg Yu. Tsupko
This paper investigates gravitational lensing effects in the presence of plasma in the strong deflection limit, which corresponds to light rays circling around a compact object and…
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…
Long-term monitoring of WASP-19 b: Signs of apsidal precession and molecular signatures
A. R. Rajkumar, A. Bayo, P. Peng +30
With more than 6000 exoplanets discovered so far, about 12 percent are hot Jupiters. Their large sizes and short orbital periods make them valuable targets for studying planetary f…
Strong deflection of massive particles in spherically symmetric spacetimes
Fabiano Feleppa, Valerio Bozza, Oleg Yu. Tsupko
Near a gravitating compact object, massive particles traveling along timelike geodesics are gravitationally deflected similarly to light. In this paper, we study the deflection ang…
Time-Domain Photometry and Activity Evolution of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS with BHTOM
A. Fraser Gillan, Åukasz Wyrzykowski, PrzemysÅaw J. MikoÅajczyk +69
Time-domain photometric monitoring is essential for characterizing cometary evolution, particularly for rare interstellar objects with limited observing opportunities. We aimed to…
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…
