PopSyCLE: A New Population Synthesis Code for Compact Object Microlensing Events
Casey Y. Lam, Jessica R. Lu, Matthew W. Hosek +2
We present a new Milky Way microlensing simulation code, dubbed PopSyCLE (Population Synthesis for Compact object Lensing Events). PopSyCLE is the first resolved microlensing simul…
Chandra Observations of the Spectacular A3411-12 Merger Event
Felipe Andrade-Santos, Reinout J. van Weeren, Gabriella Di Gennaro +17
We present deep Chandra observations of A3411-12, a remarkable merging cluster that hosts the most compelling evidence for electron re-acceleration at cluster shocks to date. Using…
Particle re-acceleration and Faraday-complex structures in the RXC J1314.4-2515 galaxy cluster
C. Stuardi, A. Bonafede, D. Wittor +9
Radio relics are sites of electron (re)acceleration in merging galaxy clusters but the mechanism of acceleration and the topology of the magnetic field in and near relics are yet t…
Astro2020: From Stars to Compact Objects: The Initial-Final Mass Relation
Jessica R. Lu, Casey Lam, Will Dawson +5
One of the key phases of stellar evolution that remains poorly understood is stellar death. We lack a predictive model for how a star of a given mass explodes and what kind of remn…
Primordial Black Hole Microlensing: The Einstein Crossing Time Distribution
Jessica R. Lu, Casey Y. Lam, Michael Medford +2
Gravitational microlensing is one of the few means of finding primordial black holes (PBHs), if they exist. Recent LIGO detections of 30 Msun black holes have re-invigorated the se…
Dark Matter Science in the Era of LSST
Keith Bechtol, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Kevork N. Abazajian +177
Astrophysical observations currently provide the only robust, empirical measurements of dark matter. In the coming decade, astrophysical observations will guide other experimental…
