Microlens Parallax Measurements With A Warm Spitzer
Because the Spitzer Space Telescope is in an Earth-trailing orbit, losing about 0.1 AU/yr, it is excellently located to perform microlens parallax observations toward the Magellanic Clouds (LMC/SMC) and the Galactic bulge. These yield the so-called “projected velocity” of the lens, which can distinguish statistically among different populations. A few such measurements toward the LMC/SMC would ...
متن کامل2 4 Fe b 20 15 Pathway to the Galactic Distribution of Planets : Combined Spitzer and Ground - Based Microlens Parallax Measurements of 21 Single - Lens Events
We present microlens parallax measurements for 21 (apparently) isolated lenses observed toward the Galactic bulge that were imaged simultaneously from Earth and Spitzer, which was ∼ 1AU West of Earth in projection. We combine these measurements with a kinematic model of the Galaxy to derive distance estimates for each lens, with error bars that are small compared to the Sun’s Galactocentric dis...
متن کاملFirst Space-based Microlens Parallax Measurement of an Isolated Star: Spitzer Observations of Ogle-2014-blg-0939
We present the first space-based microlens parallax measurement of an isolated star. From the striking differences in the lightcurve as seen from Earth and from Spitzer (~1 AU to the west), we infer a projected velocity ~ ṽ 250 km s hel 1, which strongly favors a lens in the Galactic Disk with mass = M M 0.23 0.07 and distance = D 3.1 0.4 kpc L . An ensemble of such measurements drawn fro...
متن کاملEnhancement of the Spitzer Infrared Array Camera Distortion Correction for Parallax Measurements
The Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Array (IRAC) offers a rare opportunity to measure distances and determine physical properties of the faintest and coldest brown dwarfs. The current distortion correction is a 3 order polynomial represented by TAN-SIP parameters within the headers. The current correction, good to 100 mas, was derived from deep imaging, using marginally resolved galaxies in so...
متن کاملMicrolens Parallax Asymmetries Toward the Large Magellanic Cloud
If the microlensing events now being detected toward the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are due to lenses in the Milky Way halo, then the events should typically have asymmetries of order 1% due to parallax from the reflex motion of the Earth. By contrast, if the lenses are in the LMC, the parallax effects should be negligible. A ground-based search for such parallax asymmetries would therefore c...
