Chemodynamical evolution of interacting galaxies

F. Combes, A. L. Melchior

We have undertaken numerical simulations of galaxy interactions and mergers, coupling the dynamics with the star formation history and the chemical evolution. The self-gravity of s…

AGAPEROS: Searching for variable stars in the LMC Bar with the Pixel Method. I. Detection, astrometry and cross-identification

A. -L. Melchior, S. M. G. Hughes, J. Guibert

We extend the work developed in previous papers on microlensing with a selection of variable stars. We use the Pixel Method to select variable stars on a set of 2.5 x 10**6 pixel l…

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…

A Short Timescale Candidate Microlensing Event in the POINT-AGAPE Pixel Lensing Survey of M31

M. Auriere, P. Baillon, A. Bouquet +14

We report the discovery of a short-duration microlensing candidate in the northern field of the POINT-AGAPE pixel lensing survey towards M31. The full-width half-maximum timescale…
