20 th Microlensing Workshop Spitzer Microlens Detection of a Massive Remnant in a Well-separated Binary Yossi Shvartzvald Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology
2
20 th Microlensing Workshop Observed Stellar Remnants Single: No single stellar BH detected! A few hundreds NS (pulsars) Binaries: X-ray binaries: ~75% BH, ~25% NS 22 Galactic BHs (Tetarenko+2015) 5% of NS are in a binary system OB stars – over 70% in binaries (Raghavan+2010)

20 th Microlensing Workshop Estimates: ~1% of events are BH and 3% are NS (Gould 2000) Mass measurement: Single lens BHs candidates ( measurement) : MACHO candidates (Poindexter 2005) OGLE - see Wyrzykowski and Rybicki talks on Friday Measure : Finite source size: Astrometric microlensng – see Nucita talk on Friday Interferometric observations – see Ranc talks on Friday Microlensing – single lens detection

20 th Microlensing Workshop Prospects for future space microlensing Spitzer 2016 (+...): Higher cadence Longer observation Kepler K2C9: Importance for continuous ground-based coverage of the entire K2C9 footprint WFIRST: ~500 BH events and ~1500 NS events Fully explore the stellar remnants mass distribution Including binaries at a few AU
28
20 th Microlensing Workshop Conclusions Microlensing can detect stellar remnants in wide binaries An unexplored field by any other technique currently Microlens parallax satellite is crucial High cadence and continuous coverage are essential OGLE-1285: best microlensing stellar remnant candidate M>1.35M ʘ (80% probability), no blue light! Smallest parallax measurement ever Can be confirmed with future observations UKIRT : NIR survey - a key preparation program for WFIRST
