RoboNet-II: Follow-up observations of microlensing events with a robotic network of telescopes
Y. Tsapras, R. Street, K. Horne +20
RoboNet-II uses a global network of robotic telescopes to perform follow-up observations of microlensing events in the Galactic Bulge. The current network consists of three 2m tele…
Electromagnetic probes of primordial black holes as dark matter
Y. Ali-Haimoud, S. Clesse, J. Garcia-Bellido +91
The LIGO discoveries have rekindled suggestions that primordial black holes (BHs) may constitute part to all of the dark matter (DM) in the Universe. Such suggestions came from 1)…
Variable stars in the bulge globular cluster NGC 6401
Y. Tsapras, A. Arellano Ferro, D. M. Bramich +7
We present a study of variable stars in globular cluster NGC 6401. The cluster is only $5.3\degr$ away from the Galactic centre and suffers from strong differential reddening. The…
Difference image photometry with bright variable backgrounds
E. Kerins, M. J. Darnley, J. P. Duke +5
Over the last two decades the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) has been something of a test-bed for methods aimed at obtaining accurate time-domain relative photometry within highly crowded…
Physical properties and transmission spectrum of the WASP-80 planetary system from multi-colour photometry
L. Mancini, J. Southworth, S. Ciceri +29
WASP-80 is one of only two systems known to contain a hot Jupiter which transits its M-dwarf host star. We present eight light curves of one transit event, obtained simultaneously…
Photometric Observations of the Type Ia SN 2002er in UGC 10743
G. Pignata, F. Patat, S. Benetti +20
Extensive light and colour curves for the Type Ia supernova SN 2002er are presented as part of the European Supernova Collaboration. We have collected UBVRI photometry from ten dif…
