DO-CRIME: Dynamic On-sky Covariance Random Interaction Matrix Evaluation, a novel method for calibrating adaptive optics systems
Olivier Lai, Mark Chun, Ryan Dungee +2
Adaptive optics systems require a calibration procedure to operate, whether in closed loop or even more importantly in forward control. This calibration usually takes the form of a…
Automating Inference of Binary Microlensing Events with Neural Density Estimation
Keming Zhang, Joshua S. Bloom, B. Scott Gaudi +3
Automated inference of binary microlensing events with traditional sampling-based algorithms such as MCMC has been hampered by the slowness of the physical forward model and the pa…
A Reanalysis of Public Galactic Bulge Gravitational Microlensing Events from OGLE-III and IV
Nathan Golovich, William A. Dawson, Fran Bartolić +8
Modern surveys of gravitational microlensing events have progressed to detecting thousands per year. Surveys are capable of probing Galactic structure, stellar evolution, lens popu…
MOA-2007-BLG-400 A Super-Jupiter Mass Planet Orbiting a Galactic BulgeK-dwarf Revealed by Keck Adaptive Optics Imaging
Aparna Bhattacharya, David P. Bennett, Jean P. Beaulieu +11
We present Keck/NIRC2 adaptive optics imaging of planetary microlensing event MOA-2007-BLG-400 that resolves the lens star system from the source. We find that the MOA-2007-BLG-400…
MOA-2009-BLG-319Lb: A Sub-Saturn Planet Inside the Predicted Mass Desert
Sean K. Terry, Aparna Bhattacharya, David P. Bennett +10
We present an adaptive optics (AO) analysis of images from the Keck-II telescope NIRC2 instrument of the planetary microlensing event MOA-2009-BLG-319. The 10 year baseline b…
SPISEA: A Python-Based Simple Stellar Population Synthesis Code for Star Clusters
M. W. Hosek, J. R. Lu, C. Y. Lam +4
We present SPISEA (Stellar Population Interface for Stellar Evolution and Atmospheres), an open-source Python package that simulates simple stellar populations. The strength of SPI…
Gravitational Microlensing Event Statistics for the Zwicky Transient Facility
Michael S. Medford, Jessica R. Lu, William A. Dawson +4
Microlensing surveys have discovered thousands of events with almost all events discovered within the Galactic bulge or toward the Magellanic clouds. The Zwicky Transient Facility…
Search for a Variation of the Fine Structure around the Supermassive Black Hole in Our Galactic Center
A. Hees, T. Do, B. M. Roberts +11
Searching for space-time variations of the constants of Nature is a promising way to search for new physics beyond General Relativity and the standard model motivated by unificatio…
