Search for Low-Mass Exoplanets by Gravitational Microlensing at High Magnification
F. Abe, D. P. Bennett, I. A. Bond +32
Observations of the gravitational microlensing event MOA 2003-BLG-32/OGLE 2003-BLG-219 are presented for which the peak magnification was over 500, the highest yet reported. Contin…
Central Masses and Broad-Line Region Sizes of Active Galactic Nuclei. II. A Homogeneous Analysis of a Large Reverberation-Mapping Database
B. M. Peterson, L. Ferrarese, K. M. Gilbert +9
We present improved black hole masses for 35 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) based on a complete and consistent reanalysis of broad emission-line reverberation-mapping data. From obj…
Potential Direct Single-Star Mass Measurement
H. Ghosh
We analyze the lightcurve of the microlensing event OGLE-2003-BLG-175/MOA-2003-BLG-45 and show that it has two properties that, when combined with future high resolution astrometry…
OGLE-2003-BLG-238: Microlensing Mass Estimate of an Isolated Star
Guangfei Jiang, D. L. DePoy, A. Gal-Yam +38
Microlensing is the only known direct method to measure the masses of stars that lack visible companions. In terms of microlensing observables, the mass is given by M=(c^2/4G)\tild…
Photometric Identification of Young Stripped-Core Supernovae
Avishay Gal-Yam, Dovi Poznanski, Dan Maoz +2
We present a method designed to identify the spectral type of young (less than ~30 days after explosion) and nearby (z < ~0.05) supernovae (SNe) using their broad-band colors. In p…
Constraints on Planetary Companions in the Magnification A=256 Microlensing Event: OGLE-2003-BLG-423
Jaiyul Yoo, D. L. DePoy, A. Gal-Yam +16
We develop a new method of modeling microlensing events based on a Monte Carlo simulation that incorporates both a Galactic model and the constraints imposed by the observed charac…
