Commissioning and on-sky performance verification of iLocater

Marshall C. Johnson, Marcelo Tala Pinto, Jonathan Crass +59

iLocater is a high-resolution near-infrared extreme precision radial velocity (EPRV) spectrograph that was deployed to the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) in June 2026. iLocater op…

Rate of caustic crossing microlensing events in stellar binary lenses with significant orbital motion

Arjun Murlidhar, B. Scott Gaudi, Todd. A. Thompson

Binary lens microlensing events in which the source crosses a caustic produce sharp, distinctive magnification peaks and can therefore be readily identified. In this paper, we expl…

The Persistent Missing Mass Problem in Planet Formation

Eve J. Lee, William DeRocco, Sam Hadden +1

Recent ground-based microlensing surveys suggest that our Galaxy may abound with small free floating planets, potentially up to 21 such planets per star. We explore the impli…

An HST Wide Field Survey of the Galactic Bulge: Overview, Strategy, and First Results

Sean K. Terry, Jay Anderson, Charles A. Beichman +13

We present an HST imaging survey of a 1.1 sq. degree sky area toward the Milky Way Galactic Bulge. This field significantly overlaps with the upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Galactic Bu…

Masses of Potentially Habitable Planets Characterized by the Habitable Worlds Observatory

Kaz Gary, B. Scott Gaudi, Eduardo Bendek +5

Constraints on the masses of exoplanets directly imaged and characterized by the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) are crucial for categorizing these planets and interpreting thei…

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…
