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…
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…
The Microlensing Event Rate and Optical Depth Toward the Galactic Bulge from MOA-II
T. Sumi, D. P. Bennett, I. A. Bond +19
We present measurements of the microlensing optical depth and event rate toward the Galactic Bulge based on two years of the MOA-II survey. This sample contains ~1000 microlensing…
The Extreme Microlensing Event OGLE-2007-BLG-224: Terrestrial Parallax Observation of a Thick-Disk Brown Dwarf
A. Gould, A. Udalski, B. Monard +10
Parallax is the most fundamental technique to measure distances to astronomical objects. Although terrestrial parallax was pioneered over 2000 years ago by Hipparchus (ca. 140 BCE)…
