The POINT-AGAPE Survey: Comparing Automated Searches of Microlensing Events toward M31

Y. Tsapras, B. J. Carr, M. J. Weston +4

Searching for microlensing in M31 using automated superpixel surveys raises a number of difficulties which are not present in more conventional techniques. Here we focus on the pro…

Chemical evolution of the Galactic bulge as traced by microlensed dwarf and subgiant stars. II. Ages, metallicities, detailed elemental abundances, and connections to the Galactic thick disc

T. Bensby, S. Feltzing, J. A. Johnson +13

The Bulge is the least understood major stellar population of the Milky Way. Most of what we know about the formation and evolution of the Bulge comes from bright giant stars. The…

Elemental abundances in the Galactic bulge from microlensed dwarf stars

T. Bensby, S. Feltzing, J. A. Johnson +11

We present elemental abundances of 13 microlensed dwarf and subgiant stars in the Galactic bulge, which constitute the largest sample to date. We show that these stars span the ful…

OGLE-2009-BLG-076S - The most metal-poor dwarf star in the Galactic bulge

T. Bensby, S. Feltzing, J. A. Johnson +6

Measurements based on a large number of red giant stars suggest a broad metallicity distribution function (MDF) for the Galactic bulge, centered on [Fe/H]=-0.1. However, recently,…

New Magellanic Cloud R Coronae Borealis and DY Per type stars from the EROS-2 database: the connection between RCBs, DYPers and ordinary carbon stars

P. Tisserand, P. R. Wood, J. B. Marquette +29

R Coronae Borealis stars (RCB) are a rare type of evolved carbon-rich supergiant stars that are increasingly thought to result from the merger of two white dwarfs, called the Doubl…

Chemical evolution of the Galactic bulge as traced by microlensed dwarf and subgiant stars. Detailed abundance analysis of OGLE-2008-BLG-209S

T. Bensby, J. A. Johnson, J. Cohen +7

AIMS. Our aims are twofold. First we aim to evaluate the robustness and accuracy of stellar parameters and detailed elemental abundances that can be derived from high-resolution sp…
