Testing KMTNet--PRIME Optical--Near-Infrared Source-Color Constraints in KMT-2024-BLG-0211 and KMT-2024-BLG-1522
Kansuke Nunota, Jennifer C. Yee, Takahiro Sumi +37
We present analyses of two 2024 microlensing events, KMT-2024-BLG-0211 and KMT-2024-BLG-1522, jointly observed by KMTNet in the optical and PRIME in the near-infrared. For KMT-2024…
Dark lens candidates from Gaia Data Release 3
K. Kruszyńska, Ł. Wyrzykowski, K. A. Rybicki +48
Gravitational microlensing is a phenomenon that allows us to observe dark remnants of stellar evolution even if they no longer emit electromagnetic radiation. In particular, it can…
Possible Solution of the long-standing discrepancy in the Microlensing Optical Depth Toward the Galactic Bulge by correcting the stellar number count
T. Sumi, M. T. Penny
We find that significant incompleteness in stellar number counts results in a significant overestimate of the microlensing optical depth and event rate per star per year to…
The Microlensing Event Rate and Optical Depth Toward the Galactic Bulge from MOA-II
T. Sumi, D. P. Bennett, I. A. Bond +19
We present measurements of the microlensing optical depth and event rate toward the Galactic Bulge based on two years of the MOA-II survey. This sample contains ~1000 microlensing…
Chemical evolution of the Galactic bulge as traced by microlensed dwarf and subgiant stars. II. Ages, metallicities, detailed elemental abundances, and connections to the Galactic thick disc
T. Bensby, S. Feltzing, J. A. Johnson +13
The Bulge is the least understood major stellar population of the Milky Way. Most of what we know about the formation and evolution of the Bulge comes from bright giant stars. The…
