A free-floating-planet microlensing event caused by a Saturn-mass object
Subo Dong, Zexuan Wu, Yoon-Hyun Ryu +39
A population of free-floating planets is known from gravitational microlensing surveys. None have a directly measured mass, owing to a degeneracy with the distance, but the populat…
Planets Across Space and Time (PAST). VIII : Kinematic Characterization and Identification of Radial Velocity Variables for the LAMOST-Gaia-TESS Stars
Di Wu, Di-Chang Chen, Ji-Wei Xie +6
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has discovered over 6700 nearby exoplanets candidates using the transit method through its all-sky survey. Characterizing the kinem…
"Industrial-Scale" Black Hole Selection without a Satellite
Zexuan Wu, Subo Dong, Andrew P. Gould +2
The forthcoming GRAVITY+ instrument promises to usher in an era of "industrial-scale" mass measurements of isolated black holes (BHs), with the potential to assemble a sample of ma…
Revisiting the Li abundances of Stars with and without Detected Planets from the High Resolution Spectroscopy
Jinxiao Qin, Hong-Liang Yan, Wenyuan Cui +12
Whether the presence of planets affects the lithium (Li) abundance of their host stars is still an open question. To investigate the difference of the Li abundance between planet-h…
Twinkle: A GPU-based binary-lens microlensing code with contour integration method
Suwei Wang, Lile Wang, Subo Dong
With the rapidly increasing rate of microlensing planet detections, microlensing modeling software faces significant challenges in computation efficiency. Here, we develop the Twin…
Observations of Microlensed Images with Dual-field Interferometry: On-sky Demonstration and Prospects
P. Mroz, S. Dong, A. Merand +57
Interferometric observations of gravitational microlensing events offer an opportunity for precise, efficient, and direct mass and distance measurements of lensing objects, especia…
