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…

GraL spectroscopic identification of multiply imaged quasars

Priyanka Jalan, Vibhore Negi, Jean Surdej +24

Gravitational lensing is proven to be one of the most efficient tools for studying the Universe. The spectral confirmation of such sources requires extensive calibration. This pape…

Searching for strong gravitational lenses

Cameron Lemon, Frédéric Courbin, Anupreeta More +9

Strong gravitational lenses provide unique laboratories for cosmological and astrophysical investigations, but they must first be discovered - a task that can be met with significa…

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…

Prediction of Astrometric-Microlensing Events from Gaia eDR3 Proper Motions

Jonas Klüter, Ulrich Bastian, Markus Demleitner +1

Astrometric microlensing is a unique tool to measure stellar masses. It allows us to determine the mass of the lensing star with an accuracy of a few per cent. In this paper, we up…
