迈向测量银河系中心微引力透镜事件率:I. 来自UKIRT微引力透镜巡天数据的事件检测

Towards Measuring Microlensing Event Rate in the Galactic Center: I. Events Detection from the UKIRT Microlensing Survey Data

Yongxin Wen, Weicheng Zang, Bo Ma

AI总结:

本文利用UKIRT近红外巡天数据,通过KMTNet算法检测银河系中心微引力透镜事件,发现522个清晰事件,并计算未校正事件率,表明NIR事件率高于光学事件率且朝中心上升。

摘要:

为了克服高光学消光,需要近红外观测来探测朝向银河系中心的微引力透镜事件。2015-2019年朝向银河系中心的UKIRT微引力透镜巡天是Nancy Grace Roman太空望远镜的首次专用前驱近红外(NIR)巡天。我们在此分析来自UKIRT微引力透镜巡天的在线数据,覆盖至$l=b=0^\circ$。使用KMTNet的事件查找算法,以$\Delta\chi^2$阈值为250,我们发现了522个清晰事件、436个可能事件和27个可能的异常事件。我们对所有清晰事件拟合了点源-点透镜(PSPL)模型,并使用马尔可夫链蒙特卡洛方法推导出带不确定性的PSPL参数。假设完美的探测效率,我们计算了未校正的事件率,这应作为真实事件率的下限。我们发现未校正的NIR事件率可能朝向银河系中心上升,并且高于光学事件率。

英文摘要:

To overcome the high optical extinction, near-infrared observations are needed for probing the microlensing events toward the Galactic center. The 2015-2019 UKIRT microlensing survey toward the Galactic center is the first dedicated precursor near-infrared (NIR) survey for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. We here analyze the online data from the UKIRT microlensing survey, reaching $l=b=0^\circ$. Using the event-finder algorithm of KMTNet with the $Δχ^2$ threshold of 250, we find 522 clear events, 436 possible events, and 27 possible anomalous events. We fit a point-source point-lens (PSPL) model to all the clear events and derive the PSPL parameters with uncertainties using a Markov chain Monte Carlo method. Assuming perfect detection efficiency, we compute the uncorrected event rates, which should serve as the lower limits on the true event rate. We find that the uncorrected NIR event rates are likely rising toward the Galactic center and higher than the optical event rates.
