Predicted microlensing events by nearby very-low-mass objects: Pan-STARRS DR1 vs. Gaia DR2
M. B. Nielsen, D. M. Bramich
Microlensing events can be used to directly measure the masses of single field stars to a precision of 1-10\%. The majority of direct mass measurements for stellar and sub-st…
First assessment of the binary lens OGLE-2015_BLG-0232
E. Bachelet, V. Bozza, C. Han +51
We present an analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-0232. This event is challenging to characterize for two reasons. First, the light curve is not well sampled during th…
A search for black hole microlensing signatures in globular cluster NGC 6656 (M 22)
N. Kains, A. Calamida, K. C. Sahu +3
We report the results of a study aiming to detect signs of astrometric microlensing caused by an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) in the center of globular cluster M 22 (NGC 665…
OGLE-2014-BLG-1186: gravitational microlensing providing evidence for a planet orbiting the foreground star or for a close binary source?
M. Dominik, E. Bachelet, V. Bozza +40
(abridged) Using the particularly long gravitational microlensing event OGLE-2014-BLG-1186 with a time-scale ~ 300 d, we present a methodology for identifying the na…
An almanac of predicted microlensing events for the 21st century
D. M. Bramich, M. B. Nielsen
Using Gaia data release 2 (GDR2), we present an almanac of 2,509 predicted microlensing events, caused by 2,130 unique lens stars, that will peak between 25th July 2026 and the end…
Predicted microlensing events from analysis of Gaia Data Release 2
D. M. Bramich
Astrometric microlensing can be used to make precise measurements of the masses of lens stars that are independent of their assumed internal physics. Such direct mass measurements,…
