Classical novae from the POINT-AGAPE microlensing survey of M31 -- II. Rate and statistical characteristics of the nova population
M. J. Darnley, M. F. Bode, E. Kerins +17
We report the results of our statistical study of the POINT-AGAPE CNe catalogue. The first Sloan and analysis of the MMRD relationship in M31 is performed using the resul…
POINT-AGAPE Pixel Lensing Survey of M31 : Evidence for a MACHO contribution to Galactic Halos
S. Calchi Novati, S. Paulin-Henriksson, J. An +15
The POINT-AGAPE collaboration is carrying out a search for gravitational microlensing toward M31 to reveal galactic dark matter in the form of MACHOs (Massive Astrophysical Compact…
The POINT-AGAPE survey II: An Unrestricted Search for Microlensing Events towards M31
V. Belokurov, J. An, N. W. Evans +16
An automated search is carried out for microlensing events using a catalogue of 44554 variable superpixel lightcurves derived from our three-year monitoring program of M31. Each st…
The CMB temperature power spectrum from an improved analysis of the Archeops data
M. Tristram, G. Patanchon, J. F. Macias-Perez +47
We present improved results on the measurement of the angular power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature anisotropies using the data from the last Archeops…
Variable stars towards the bulge of M31: the AGAPE catalogue
R. Ansari, M. Auriere, P. Baillon +15
We present the AGAPE astrometric and photometric catalogue of 1579 variable stars in a 14'x10' field centred on M31. This work is the first survey devoted to variable stars in the…
Classical novae from the POINT-AGAPE microlensing survey of M31 -- I. The nova catalogue
M. J. Darnley, M. F. Bode, E. Kerins +16
The POINT-AGAPE survey is an optical search for gravitational microlensing events towards the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). As well as microlensing, the survey is sensitive to many diffe…
