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…
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…
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 search for dark matter towards M31 by microlensing effects on unresolved stars
R. Ansari, M. Aurière, P. Baillon +13
M31 is a very tempting target for a microlensing search of compact objects in galactic haloes. It is the nearest large galaxy, it probably has its own dark halo, and its tilted pos…
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…
AGAPE, an experiment to detect MACHO's in the direction of the Andromeda galaxy
R. Ansari, M. Auriére, P. Baillon +12
The status of the Agape experiment to detect Machos in the direction of the andromeda galaxy is presented.
