摘要:

到目前为止,大多数恒星残骸都是在双星系统中发现的,在那里它们与同伴的物质相互作用。孤立的中子星和黑洞很难找到,因为它们很暗,但它们预计会大量存在于我们的银河系中。我们探索了OGLE-III数据库中2001-2009年观测到的1.5亿个天体,发现了59个微透镜事件,这些事件由于地球绕太阳的运动而表现出视差效应。结合视差和亮度测量从微透镜光变曲线与预期的自行在银河系中,我们确定了13微透镜事件,这是符合有一个白矮星,中子星或黑洞透镜,我们估计他们的质量和距离。我们最大的黑洞候选者有9.3 MSun,距离2.4 kpc。我们的候选者的质量分布表明质量分布的连续性,中子星和黑洞之间没有质量间隙。我们还提出了预测,这些事件将如何观察到的天体测量盖亚任务。

英文摘要:

Most stellar remnants so far have been found in binary systems, where they interact with matter from their companions. Isolated neutron stars and black holes are difficult to find as they are dark, yet they are predicted to exist in our Galaxy in vast numbers. We explored the OGLE-III database of 150 million objects observed in years 2001-2009 and found 59 microlensing events exhibiting a parallax effect due to the Earth's motion around the Sun. Combining parallax and brightness measurements from microlensing light curves with expected proper motions in the Milky Way, we identified 13 microlensing events which are consistent with having a white dwarf, neutron star or a black hole lens and we estimated their masses and distances. The most massive of our black hole candidates has 9.3 MSun and is at a distance of 2.4 kpc. The distribution of masses of our candidates indicates a continuum in mass distribution with no mass gap between neutron stars and black holes. We also present predictions on how such events will be observed by the astrometric Gaia mission.
