Dark Matter: A Primer

Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
Dark matter is one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in cosmology at the present time. About 80% of the Universe′s gravitating matter is nonluminous, and its nature and distribution are for the most part unknown. In this paper, we will outline the history, astrophysical evidence, candidates, and detection methods of dark matter, with the goal to give ...

The influence of microlensing on the shape of the AGN Fe K-alpha line

, 2002
We study the influence of gravitational microlensing on the AGN Fe K-alpha line confirming that unexpected enhancements recently detected in the iron line of some AGNs can be produced by this effect.

Primordial Black Hole Dark Matter Simulations Using PopSyCLE

The Astrophysical Journal
Primordial black holes (PBHs), theorized to have originated in the early Universe, are speculated to be a viable form of dark matter. If they exist, they should be detectable through photometric and astrometric signals resulting from gravitational ...

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

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.

Diffractive Microlensing I: Flickering Planetesimals at the Edge of the Solar System

, 2009
Microlensing and occultation are generally studied in the geometric optics limit. However, diffraction may be important when recently discovered Kuiper-Belt objects (KBOs) occult distant stars.

Systematic KMTNet Planetary Anomaly Search. X. Complete Sample of 2017 Prime-field Planets

The Astronomical Journal
We complete the analysis of planetary candidates found by the KMT AnomalyFinder for the 2017 prime fields that cover ∼13 deg ^2 . We report three unambiguous planets: OGLE-2017-BLG-0640, OGLE-2017-BLG-1275, and OGLE-2017-BLG-1237.
