The Microlensing Event Rate and Optical Depth from MOA-II 9 year Survey toward the Galactic Bulge
Kansuke Nunota, Takahiro Sumi, Naoki Koshimoto +23
We present measurements of the microlensing optical depth and event rate toward the Galactic bulge using the dataset from the 2006--2014 MOA-II survey, which covers 22 bulge fields…
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…
Influence of Black Hole Kick Velocity on Microlensing Distributions
Naoki Koshimoto, Norita Kawanaka, Daichi Tsuna
The natal kick velocity distribution for black holes (BHs) is unknown regardless of its importance for understanding the BH formation process. Gravitational microlensing is a uniqu…
Dark lens candidates from Gaia Data Release 3
K. Kruszyńska, Ł. 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…
An isolated mass gap black hole or neutron star detected with astrometric microlensing
Casey Y. Lam, Jessica R. Lu, Andrzej Udalski +42
We present the analysis of five black hole candidates identified from gravitational microlensing surveys. Hubble Space Telescope astrometric data and densely sampled lightcurves fr…
A Parametric Galactic Model toward the Galactic Bulge Based on Gaia and Microlensing Data
Naoki Koshimoto, Junichi Baba, David P. Bennett
We developed a parametric Galactic model toward the Galactic bulge by fitting to spatial distributions of the Gaia DR2 disk velocity, VVV proper motion, BRAVA radial velocity, OGLE…
Chemical evolution of the Galactic bulge as traced by microlensed dwarf and subgiant stars. VI. Age and abundance structure of the stellar populations in the central sub-kpc of the Milky Way
T. Bensby, S. Feltzing, A. Gould +29
We present a detailed elemental abundance study of 90 F and G dwarf, turn-off and subgiant stars in the Galactic bulge. Based on high-resolution spectra acquired during gravitation…
