First semi-empirical test of the white dwarf mass-radius relationship using a single white dwarf via astrometric microlensing
Peter McGill, Jay Anderson, Stefano Casertano +15
In November 2019, the nearby single, isolated DQ-type white dwarf LAWD 37 (WD 1142-645) aligned closely with a distant background source and caused an astrometric microlensing even…
An Isolated Stellar-Mass Black Hole Detected Through Astrometric Microlensing
Kailash C. Sahu, Jay Anderson, Stefano Casertano +90
We report the first unambiguous detection and mass measurement of an isolated stellar-mass black hole (BH). We used the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to carry out precise astrometry…
OGLE-2013-BLG-0911Lb: A Secondary on the Brown-Dwarf Planet Boundary around an M-dwarf
Shota Miyazaki, Takahiro Sumi, David P. Bennett +92
We present the analysis of the binary-lens microlensing event OGLE-2013-BLG-0911. The best-fit solutions indicate the binary mass ratio of q~0.03 which differs from that reported i…
A search for black hole microlensing signatures in globular cluster NGC 6656 (M 22)
N. Kains, A. Calamida, K. C. Sahu +3
We report the results of a study aiming to detect signs of astrometric microlensing caused by an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) in the center of globular cluster M 22 (NGC 665…
OGLE-2014-BLG-1186: gravitational microlensing providing evidence for a planet orbiting the foreground star or for a close binary source?
M. Dominik, E. Bachelet, V. Bozza +40
(abridged) Using the particularly long gravitational microlensing event OGLE-2014-BLG-1186 with a time-scale ~ 300 d, we present a methodology for identifying the na…
New variable stars in the Galactic Bulge: I. The bright regime
N. Kains, A. Calamida, M. Rejkuba +8
We report the detection of 1143 variable stars towards the Galactic bulge, including 320 previously uncatalogued variables, using time-series photometry extracted from data obtaine…
