Commissioning and on-sky performance verification of iLocater
Marshall C. Johnson, Marcelo Tala Pinto, Jonathan Crass +59
The paper describes the commissioning and first on‑sky performance of iLocater, a high‑resolution near‑infrared spectrograph on the Large Binocular Telescope, demonstrating its abi…
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…
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…
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…
