A library of galaxy mergers
F. Combes, A. -L. Melchior
We have undertaken a large series of numerical simulations with the goal to built a library of galaxy mergers (GALMER). Since the aim is to have more than a thousand of realisation…

Hands-On Universe (HOU) is an educational program that enables students to investigate the Universe while applying tools and concepts from science, math, and technology. Using the…
Hands-On TAROT: Intercontinental use of the TAROT for Education and Public Outreach
M. Boer, C. Thiebaut, A. Klotz +4
The TAROT telescope has for primary goal the search for the prompt optical counterpart of Cosmic Gamma-Ray Bursts. It is a completely autonomous 25cm telescope installed near Nice…
Simulating galaxy surveys with FIRST (PACS & SPIRE)
A. -L. Melchior, F. Combes, B. Guiderdoni +1
The next generation of submillimetre/millimetre instruments will provide us with a deeper insight into the mechanisms that rule galaxy formation. As the brightest starbursts are th…
Pixel and Micro-lensing with NGST
S. Bensammar, A. -L. Melchior
Within 8 years, the current microlensing surveys of M31 will provide several hundred events affecting unresolved stars. They will thus allow a statistical study of the dark matter…
AgapeZ1: a Large Amplification Microlensing Event or an Odd Variable Star Towards the Inner Bulge of M31
R. Ansari, M. Auriere, P. Baillon +14
AgapeZ1 is the brightest and the shortest duration microlensing candidate event found in the Agape data. It occured only 42" from the center of M31. Our photometry shows that the h…
