MOA-2020-BLG-208Lb: Cool Sub-Saturn Planet Within Predicted Desert
Greg Olmschenk, David P. Bennett, Ian A. Bond +74
We analyze the MOA-2020-BLG-208 gravitational microlensing event and present the discovery and characterization of a new planet, MOA-2020-BLG-208Lb, with an estimated sub-Saturn ma…
The Longest Delay: a 14.5 Yr Campaign to Determine the Third Time Delay in the Lensing Cluster SDSS~J1004+4112
J. A. Muñoz, C. S. Kochanek, J. Fohlmeister +3
We present new light curves for the four bright images of the five image cluster-lensed quasar gravitational lens system SDSS~J1004+4112. The light curves span 14.5 yr and allow me…
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…
MOA-2019-BLG-008Lb: a new microlensing detection of an object at the planet/brown dwarf boundary
E. Bachelet, Y. Tsapras, Andrew Gould +68
We report on the observations, analysis and interpretation of the microlensing event MOA-2019- BLG-008. The observed anomaly in the photometric light curve is best described throug…
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…
