The Host Galaxy of GRB 990712
Lise Christensen, Jens Hjorth, Javier Gorosabel +4
We present a comprehensive study of the z=0.43 host galaxy of GRB 990712, involving ground-based photometry, spectroscopy, and HST imaging. The broad-band UBVRIJHKs photometry is u…
Microlensing towards the Magellanic Clouds: Nature of the Lenses and Implications for Dark Matter
Kailash C. Sahu
(Abridged) A close scrutiny of the microlensing results towards the Magellanic clouds reveals that the stars within the Magellanic clouds are major contributors as lenses, and the…
PLANET II: A Microlensing and Transit Search for Extrasolar Planets
Penny D. Sackett, M. D. Albrow, J. -P. Beaulieu +16
Due to their extremely small luminosity compared to the stars they orbit, planets outside our own Solar System are extraordinarily difficult to detect directly in optical light. Ca…
Determination of Substellar Mass Function of Young Open Clusters Using 2MASS and GSC Data
Anandmayee Tej, Kailash C. Sahu, T. Chandrasekhar +1
We present a statistical method to derive the mass functions of open clusters using sky survey data such as the 2 Micron All Sky Survey and the Guide Star Catalogue. We have used t…
Microlensing Constraints on the Frequency of Jupiter Mass Planets
B. Scott Gaudi, M. D. Albrow, Jin H. An +17
Microlensing is the only technique likely, within the next 5 years, to constrain the frequency of Jupiter-analogs. The PLANET collaboration has monitored nearly 100 microlensing ev…
The PLANET microlensing follow-up network: Results and prospects for the detection of extra-solar planets
M. Dominik, M. D. Albrow, J. -P. Beaulieu +19
Among various techniques to search for extra-solar planets, microlensing has some unique characteristics. Contrary to all other methods which favour nearby objects, microlensing is…
