Constraining Lens Masses in Moderately to Highly Magnified Microlensing Events from Gaia
U. Pylypenko, Å. Wyrzykowski, P. J. MikoÅajczyk +57
Microlensing events provide a unique way to detect and measure the masses of isolated, non-luminous objects, particularly dark stellar remnants. Under certain conditions, it is pos…
Uncovering the Invisible: A Study of Gaia18ajz, a Candidate Black Hole Revealed by Microlensing
K. Howil, Å. Wyrzykowski, K. KruszyÅska +30
Identifying black holes is essential for comprehending the development of stars and uncovering novel principles of physics. Gravitational microlensing provides an exceptional oppor…
Dark lens candidates from Gaia Data Release 3
K. KruszyÅska, Å. 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…
Analysis of the full Spitzer microlensing sample I: Dark remnant candidates and Gaia predictions
Krzysztof A. Rybicki, Yossi Shvartzvald, Jennifer C. Yee +70
In the pursuit of understanding the population of stellar remnants within the Milky Way, we analyze the sample of microlensing events observed by the Spitzer Space Teles…
Gaia22dkvLb: A Microlensing Planet Potentially Accessible to Radial-Velocity Characterization
Zexuan Wu, Subo Dong, Tuan Yi +50
We report discovering an exoplanet from following up a microlensing event alerted by Gaia. The event Gaia22dkv is toward a disk source rather than the traditional bulge microlensin…
A close binary lens revealed by the microlensing event Gaia20bof
E. Bachelet, P. Rota, V. Bozza +24
During the last 25 years, hundreds of binary stars and planets have been discovered towards the Galactic Bulge by microlensing surveys. Thanks to a new generation of large-sky surv…
