A systematic fitting scheme for caustic-crossing microlensing events

N. Kains, A. Cassan, K. Horne +42

We outline a method for fitting binary-lens caustic-crossing microlensing events based on the alternative model parameterisation proposed and detailed in Cassan (2008). As an illus…

The beat Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds: an analysis from the EROS-2 database

J. B. Marquette, J. P. Beaulieu, J. R. Buchler +36

A number of microlensing dark-matter surveys have produced tens of millions of light curves of individual background stars. These data provide an unprecedented opportunity for syst…

Towards A Census of Earth-mass Exo-planets with Gravitational Microlensing

J. P. Beaulieu, E. Kerins, S. Mao +26

Thirteen exo-planets have been discovered using the gravitational microlensing technique (out of which 7 have been published). These planets already demonstrate that super-Earths (…

A Low-Mass Planet with a Possible Sub-Stellar-Mass Host in Microlensing Event MOA-2007-BLG-192

D. P. Bennett, I. A. Bond, A. Udalski +44

We report the detection of an extrasolar planet of mass ratio q ~ 2 x 10^(-4) in microlensing event MOA-2007-BLG-192. The best fit microlensing model shows both the microlensing pa…

Discovery of a peculiar Cepheid-like star towards the northern edge of the Small Magellanic Cloud

J. B. Marquette, P. Tisserand, P. Francois +37

For seven years, the EROS-2 project obtained a mass of photometric data on variable stars. We present a peculiar Cepheid-like star, in the direction of the Small Magellanic Cloud,…

R Coronae Borealis stars in the Galactic Bulge discovered by EROS-2

P. Tisserand, J. B. Marquette, P. R. Wood +33

Rare types of variable star may give unique insight into short-lived stages of stellar evolution. The systematic monitoring of millions of stars and advanced light curve analysis t…
