Gravitational microlensing and the galactic halo [PDF]

Physical Review D, 1996
By means of extensive galactic modeling we study the implications of the more than eighty microlensing events that have now been observed for the composition of the dark halo of the Galaxy, as well as for other properties of the Galaxy. We take the Galaxy to be comprised of luminous and dark disk components, a bulge, and a dark halo consisting of both ...

Magnetic Manipulation of Superparamagnetic Colloids in Droplet‐Based Optical Devices

Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 11, Issue 21, November 6, 2023., 2023
Colloidal particles inside droplets are assembled and manipulated using an external magnetic field to create magnetically controlled active microlenses and optical shutters. Using monodisperse microfluidic droplets, the assembly of particles into 2D clusters is systematically investigated and exploited to manipulate light.

Ultra wide‐field infrared astronomy in Antarctica

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 8-9, October-November 2023., 2023
The science enabled by the deep and high‐cadence survey that will be performed by the Vera Rubin Observatory has led to an increase of survey and follow‐up capabilities around the world. The infrared, has however, not match this growth due to the challenges caused by the atmospheric and the cost of large detector arrays.

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.

Gravitational Microlensing [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2011
AbstractGravitational microlensing is a well established and unique field of time-domain astrophysics. For two decades microlensing surveys have been regularly observing millions of stars to detect elusive events that follow a characteristic Paczyński lightcurve.

Characteristic Features of Gravitational Wave Lensing as Probe of Lens Mass Model

Annalen der Physik, Volume 535, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
The gravitational lensing of gravitational waves is an expanding field in astronomy and cosmology. It might contribute to solving many different issue in these fields. To exploit its potential, first of all, one needs to recognize and model a gravitational wave event properly.

Identifying interesting planetary systems for future X‐ray observations

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 343, Issue 4, May 2022., 2022
Abstract X‐ray observations of star–planet systems are important to grow our understanding of exoplanets; these observations allow for studies of photoevaporation of the exoplanetary atmosphere, and in some cases even estimations of the size of the outer planetary atmosphere.

Effervescence‐Inspired Self‐Healing Plastrons for Long‐Term Immersion Stability

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 32, Issue 4, January 19, 2022., 2022
Underwater performance of superhydrophobic/superamphiphobic surfaces relies on the robustness and durability of the gas‐layer (plastron). A simple and scalable technique of effervescence‐inspired on‐demand plastron repair is presented. Surfaces do not suffer from any performance‐losses even after 2 months of continuous immersion.
