The Araucaria Project. The Distance to the Sculptor Group Galaxy NGC 55 from a Newly Discovered Abundant Cepheid Population

G. Pietrzynski, W. Gieren, I. Soszynski +10

We have detected, for the first time, Cepheid variables in the Sculptor Group SB(s)m galaxy NGC 55. From wide-field images obtained in the optical V and I bands during 77 nights in…

OGLE 2004-BLG-254: a K3 III Galactic Bulge Giant spatially resolved by a single microlens

A. Cassan, J. -P. Beaulieu, P. Fouque +37

We present an analysis of OGLE 2004-BLG-254, a high-magnification and relatively short duration microlensing event in which the source star, a Bulge K3-giant, has been spatially re…

The Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment. Variable Baseline Microlensing Events in the Galactic Bulge

L. Wyrzykowski, A. Udalski, S. Mao +5

We present the first systematic search for microlensing events with variability in their baselines using data from the third phase of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (…

The Araucaria Project. A Wide-Field Photometric Survey for Cepheid Variables in NGC 3109

G. Pietrzynski, W. Gieren, A. Udalski +5

We have obtained mosaic images of NGC 3109 in the V and I bands on 74 nights, spanning approximately one year. From these data, we have conducted an extensive search for Cepheid va…

Removing the Microlensing Blending-Parallax Degeneracy Using Source Variability

R. J. Assef, A. Gould, the EROS-2 +2

Microlensing event MACHO 97-SMC-1 is one of the rare microlensing events for which the source is a variable star, simply because most variable stars are systematically eliminated f…

Microlens OGLE-2005-BLG-169 Implies Cool Neptune-Like Planets are Common

A. Gould, A. Udalski, D. An +33

We detect a Neptune mass-ratio (q~8e-5) planetary companion to the lens star in the extremely high-magnification (A~800) microlensing event OGLE-2005-BLG-169. If the parent is a ma…
