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…
Astrometry of the globular cluster 47 Tuc and possible optical identification of X-ray sources
M. Geffert, M. Auriere, L. Koch-Miramond
Positions of stars of 47 Tuc have been derived by the use of photographic plates and CCD frames (ESO La Silla) and data from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The positions have be…
AGAPE: a Microlensing Search for Dark Matter by Monitoring Pixels
P. Gondolo, R. Ansari, M. Auriere +13
AGAPE is an observational search of massive compact halo objects (MACHOs) in the direction of M31 by means of a novel method: the gravitational microlensing of unresolved stars. Th…
AGAPE, a microlensing search in the direction of M31: status Report
R. Ansari, M. Auriere, P. Baillon +13
A status report of the microlensing search by the pixel method in the direction of M31, on the 2 meter telescope at Pic du Midi is given. Pixels are stable to a level better than 0…
