Analysis of the Full Spitzer Microlensing Sample. I. Dark Remnant Candidates and Gaia Predictions

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
In the pursuit of understanding the population of stellar remnants within the Milky Way, we analyze the sample of ∼950 microlensing events observed by the Spitzer Space Telescope between 2014 and 2019.

KMT-2018-BLG-0029Lb and OGLE-2019-BLG-0960Lb: Mass Measurements for Two Super-Earth Microlensing Planets

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
KMT-2018-BLG-0029Lb and OGLE-2019-BLG-0960Lb were the lowest mass-ratio microlensing planets at the time of discovery. For both events, microlensing parallax measurements from the Spitzer Space Telescope implied lens systems that were more distant and ...

Gaia22dkvLb: A Microlensing Planet Potentially Accessible to Radial-velocity Characterization

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We report discovering an exoplanet from following up a microlensing event alerted by Gaia. The event Gaia22dkv is toward a disk source rather than the traditional bulge microlensing fields. Our primary analysis yields a Jovian planet with ${M}_{{\rm{p}}}=

Microlensing Events in Five Years of Photometry from the Zwicky Transient Facility

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Microlensing has a unique advantage for detecting dark objects in the Milky Way, such as free-floating planets, neutron stars, and stellar-mass black holes.

Microlensing of circumstellar envelopes: II. emission lines from radial and azimuthal flow during fold caustic crossings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
This paper examines the line profile evolution due to bulk motion in circumstellar envelopes during microlensing fold caustic crossing events. These events have recently been shown to be a sensitive probe of stellar surface brightness profiles, thus ...

Observations of Microlensed Images with Dual-field Interferometry: On-sky Demonstration and Prospects

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Interferometric observations of gravitational microlensing events offer an opportunity for precise, efficient, and direct mass and distance measurements of lensing objects, especially those of isolated neutron stars and black holes.

OGLE-2017-BLG-0448Lb: A Low Mass–Ratio Wide-orbit Microlensing Planet?

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The gravitational microlensing technique is most sensitive to planets in a Jupiter-like orbit and has detected more than 200 planets. However, only a few wide-orbit ( s > 2) microlensing planets have been discovered, where s is the planet-to-host ...

OGLE 2008–BLG–290 : an accurate measurement of the limb darkening of a galactic bulge K giant spatially resolved by microlensing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Context. Not only is gravitational microlensing a successful tool for discovering distant exoplanets, but it also enables characterization of the lens and source stars involved in the lensing event. Aims.

Simulating Gravitational Microlensing Events by TESS: Predictions on Statistics and Properties

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We study the statistics and properties of microlensing events that can be detected by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) based on Monte Carlo simulations. We simulate potential microlensing events from a sample of TESS Candidate Target List

Gaia20fnr: A binary-lens microlensing event with full orbital motion revealed by four space telescopes

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
The microlensing event Gaia20fnr is a long-duration, non-caustic-crossing binary-lens event located at a high Galactic latitude. Triggered by a photometric rise detected by the Gaia space mission, the event was followed up with observations from multiple
