OGLE-2019-BLG-0825: Constraints on the Source System and Effect on Binary-lens Parameters Arising from a Five-day Xallarap Effect in a Candidate Planetary Microlensing Event [PDF]

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present an analysis of microlensing event OGLE-2019-BLG-0825. This event was identified as a planetary candidate by preliminary modeling. We find that significant residuals from the best-fit static binary-lens model exist and a xallarap effect can fit

A Close Binary Lens Revealed by the Microlensing Event Gaia20bof [PDF]

The Astronomical Journal
During the last 25 yr, hundreds of binary stars and planets have been discovered toward the Galactic bulge by microlensing surveys. Thanks to a new generation of large-sky surveys, it is now possible to regularly detect microlensing events across the ...

KMT-2022-BLG-0086: Another Binary-lens Binary-source Microlensing Event [PDF]

The Astronomical Journal
We present the analysis of a microlensing event KMT-2022-BLG-0086 of which the overall light curve is not described by a binary-lens single-source (2L1S) model, which suggests the existence of an extra lens or an extra source.

Single Photon Kilohertz Frame Rate Imaging of Neural Activity. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh), 2022
The high temporal precision of single photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) is leveraged to record neural activity reported by genetically encoded voltage indicators. Subthreshold and spiking activity of single neurons is resolved with shot noise limited signals at frame rates of up to 10 kHz.

A Binary Origin for the First Isolated Stellar-mass Black Hole Detected with Astrometric Microlensing [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
The Milky Way is believed to host hundreds of millions of quiescent stellar-mass black holes (BHs). In the last decade, some of these objects have been potentially uncovered via gravitational microlensing events.

The road toward imaging a black hole: A personal perspective

Natural Sciences, Volume 2, Issue 4, October 2022., 2022
The article describes the authors personal journey towards developig the Event Horizon Telescope and the first image of a black hole. Left: predcition made by the author and collaborators proposing the black hole imaging in 2000. Right: the two images observed and published by the Event Horizon Telescope in 2019 and 2022.

Detecting Multiplanetary Systems with Gravitational Microlensing and the Roman Space Telescope

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
It is plausible that most of the Stars in the Milky Way Galaxy, like the Sun, consist of planetary systems, instead of a single planet. Out of the estimately discovered 3980 planet-hosting stars, about 860 of them are known to be multiplanetary systems ...

MOA-2020-BLG-208Lb: Cool Sub-Saturn-mass Planet within Predicted Desert

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
We analyze the MOA-2020-BLG-208 gravitational microlensing event and present the discovery and characterization of a new planet, MOA-2020-BLG-208Lb, with an estimated sub-Saturn mass.
