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…
Dark halo baryons not in ancient halo white dwarfs
M. Creze, V. Mohan, A. C. Robin +5
Having ruled out the possibility that stellar objects are the main contributor of the dark matter embedding galaxies, microlensing experiments cannot exclude the hypothesis that a…
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…
The POINT-AGAPE Survey I: The Variable Stars in M31
Jin H. An, N. W. Evans, P. Hewett +14
The POINT-AGAPE collaboration has been monitoring M31 for three seasons with the Wide Field Camera on the Isaac Newton Telescope. In each season, data are taken for one hour per ni…
