Spin Precession Signatures as an Indicator of Microlensing in Strongly Lensed Gravitational Waves

The Astrophysical Journal
Microlensing by the stellar field in a strong-lensing galaxy can introduce wave-optics distortions into the waveforms of strongly lensed gravitational waves (SLGWs).

Prediction of Astrometric and Timing Microlensing Events with Pulsars by ATNF Catalog and Gaia DR3

The Astrophysical Journal
Determining the mass of neutron stars is crucial for understanding their formation, evolution, and interior structure. Currently, only a few dozen neutron stars have had their masses measured, and most of them belong to binary systems. However, there are

KMT-2025-BLG-1616Lb: First Microlensing Bound Planet From DREAMS

The Astronomical Journal
We present observations and analysis of the bound planetary microlensing event KMT-2025-BLG-1616. The planetary signal was captured by the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network and the Dark Energy Camera Rogue Earths and Mars Survey (DREAMS).

OGLE-2014-BLG-0221Lb: A Jupiter Mass Ratio Companion Orbiting Either a Late-type Star or a Stellar Remnant

The Astronomical Journal
We present the analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-2014-BLG-0221, a planetary candidate event discovered in 2014. The photometric light curve is best described by a binary-lens single-source model. Our light-curve modeling finds two degenerate models,

OGLE-2011-BLG-0462: An Isolated Stellar-mass Black Hole Confirmed Using New HST Astrometry and Updated Photometry

The Astrophysical Journal
The long-duration Galactic-bulge microlensing event OGLE-2011-BLG-0462 produced relativistic astrometric deflections of the source star, which we measured using Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations taken at eight epochs over ∼6 yr.

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

The 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.

The First Model-independent Upper Bound on Microlensing Signature of the Highest-mass Binary Black Hole Event GW231123

The Astrophysical Journal
The recently discovered gravitational-wave event GW231123 is the most massive binary black hole merger detected to date. The inferred source masses of the event fall within the pair-instability supernova mass gap, where black holes formed directly from ...

Fast Radio Bursts by Stellar Wind Microlensing of a Faint Background Source

The Astrophysical Journal
By assuming the inverse square law of solar wind plasma density as representative of other stars, it is shown that just outside a star, the outward deflection of a passing radio signal at ν  ≈ 1 GHz (which is capable of penetrating the plasma) is about 5
