The Age and Structure of the Galactic Bulge from Mira Variables

Robin M. Catchpole, Patricia A. Whitelock, Michael W. Feast +3

We report periods and JHKL observations for 648 oxygen-rich Mira variables found in two outer bulge fields at b=-7 degrees and l=+/-8 degrees and combine these with data on 8057 in…

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…

Type Ia Supernovae and the Value of the Hubble Constant

Brad K. Gibson, Chris B. Brook

The methodology involved in deriving the Hubble Constant via the calibration of the corrected peak luminosities of Type Ia supernovae (SNe) is reviewed. We first present a re-analy…
