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…
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…
