Compressive Sensing Based Space Flight Instrument Constellation for Measuring Gravitational Microlensing Parallax

open access: yesSignals, 2022
In this work, we provide a compressive sensing architecture for implementing on a space based observatory for detecting transient photometric parallax caused by gravitational microlensing events.

Discerning Parallax Amplitude in Astrometric Microlensing [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomical Journal, 2023
Gravitational microlensing is a powerful method for discovering isolated stellar-mass black holes (ISMBHs). These objects make long-duration microlensing events.

The Impact of the Free-floating Planet Mass Function on the Event Rate for Accurate Microlensing Parallax Determination: Application to Euclid and Roman Parallax Observation [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomical Journal, 2023
A microlensing event is mainly used to search for free-floating planets (FFPs). To estimate the FFP mass and distance via the microlensing effect, a microlensing parallax is one of the key parameters.

Parallax Effect in Microlensing Events Due to Free-floating Planets

open access: yesAstronomical Journal
One of the most important applications of microlensing observations is the detection of free-floating planets (FFPs). The timescale of microlensing due to FFPs ( t _E ) is short (a few days). Discerning the annual parallax effect in observations of these

OGLE-2016-BLG-1195 AO: Lens, Companion to Lens or Source, or None of the Above?

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We systematically investigate Vandorou et al.’s claim to have detected the host star of the low-mass-ratio ( q < 10 ^−4 ) microlensing planet OGLE-2016-BLG-1195Lb, via Keck adaptive optics (AO) measurements Δ t = 4.12 yr after the event’s peak ( t _0 ...

OGLE-2019-BLG-1180Lb: Discovery of a Wide-orbit Jupiter-mass Planet around a Late-type Star

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We report on the discovery and analysis of the planetary microlensing event OGLE-2019-BLG-1180 with a planet-to-star mass ratio q ∼ 0.003. The event OGLE-2019-BLG-1180 has unambiguous cusp-passing and caustic-crossing anomalies, which were caused by a ...

MOA-2010-BLG-328: Keck and HST Expose the Limits of Occams Razor in Microlensing

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We present high-resolution follow-up data of the microlensing event MOA-2010-BLG-328, using Keck and the Hubble Space Telescope. Keck data, taken 8 yr after the event, reveal a strong lens detection enabling measurement of lens flux and source-lens ...

Microlensing Discovery and Characterization Efficiency in the Vera C. Rubin Legacy Survey of Space and Time

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
The Vera C. Rubin Legacy Survey of Space and Time will discover thousands of microlensing events across the Milky Way, allowing for the study of populations of exoplanets, stars, and compact objects.

Casting Light on Degeneracies: A Comprehensive Study of Lightcurve Variations in Microlensing Events OGLE-2017-BLG-0103 and OGLE-2017-BLG-0192

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
This study investigates orbital parallax in gravitational microlensing events, focusing on OGLE-2017-BLG-0103 and OGLE-2017-BLG-0192. For events with timescales ≤60 days, a Jerk-Parallax degeneracy arises due to high Jerk velocity ( $\tilde{{v}_{j ...

Microlensing and Its Degeneracy Breakers: Parallax, Finite Source, High-Resolution Imaging, and Astrometry

open access: yesUniverse, 2017
First proposed by Paczynski in 1986, microlensing has been instrumental in the search for compact dark matter as well as discovery and characterization of exoplanets.
