Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Imaging exoplanets with the solar gravitational lens (SGL) faces major technical challenges, including solar corona noise, the sun’s quadrupole moment, and ...

It first emerged in data in 2011 from two different surveys: Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) and Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics (MOA). Eight observations over six years ...

A new study released on Thursday describes a search for what are called "microlensing" events, where a planet acts as a ...

A lonely black hole roaming the cosmos in solitude has been confirmed for the first time. A closer look has revealed the dark ...

In addition to KMTNet, the Optical Gravitational Lens Experiment (OGLE) and Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics (MOA) survey groups contributed data for the planet characterization.

It is known as weak gravitational lensing, and while it is a minute effect, it can be seen. "This is the missing piece we’ve been looking for," Dr James Jee, corresponding author of the study ...

At the same time, the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) research group in Chile also discovered the object as OGLE-2011-BLG-0462. Less than 1% of microlensing events are caused by ...

The team’s proof-of-concept experiments demonstrate that this optical device manipulates electromagnetic waves in a way that mirrors the behavior of gravitational black and white holes.

An Einstein Ring is also considered a strong gravitational lensing pattern, says Xiaosheng Huang, a physics and astronomy professor at the University of San Francisco. Gravitational lensing is ...
