Candidate Microlensing Brown Dwarfs in Binary Lens Systems from the 2023–2025 Observing Seasons

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We present detailed light-curve analyses of 10 binary-lens microlensing events observed during the 2023–2025 seasons and selected as candidates for hosting brown dwarf companions.

MOA-2015-BLG-337: A Planetary System with a Low-mass Brown Dwarf/Planetary Boundary Host, or a Brown Dwarf Binary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
We report on the discovery and analysis of the short-timescale binary-lens microlensing event, MOA-2015-BLG-337. The lens system could be a planetary system with a very low-mass host, around the brown dwarf (BD)/planetary-mass boundary, or a BD binary ...

The road toward imaging a black hole: A personal perspective

open access: yesNatural 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.

OGLE-2013-BLG-0911Lb : a secondary on the brown-dwarf planet boundary around an M-dwarf [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Funding: UK STFC grant ST/R000824/1 (KH).We present the analysis of the binary-lens microlensing event OGLE-2013-BLG-0911. The best-fit solutions indicate the binary mass ratio of q ≅ 0.03 which differs from that reported in Shvartzvald et al.

Distribution of caustic-crossing intervals for Galactic binary-lens microlensing events [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2000
Detection of caustic crossings of binary-lens gravitational microlensing events is important because by detecting them one can obtain useful information both about the lens and source star. In this paper, we compute the distribution of the intervals between two successive caustic crossings, $f(t_{\rm cc})$, for Galactic bulge binary-lens events to ...

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

open access: yesThe 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.

Detecting Multiplanetary Systems with Gravitational Microlensing and the Roman Space Telescope

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Full characterization of binary-lens event OGLE-2002-BLG-069 from PLANET observations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We analyze the photometric data obtained by PLANET and OGLE on the caustic-crossing binary-lens microlensing event OGLE-2002-BLG-069. Thanks to the excellent photometric and spectroscopic coverage of the event, we are able to constrain the lens model up ...

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

open access: yesThe 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.
