Determination of stellar shape in microlensing event MOA 2002-BLG-33
N. J. Rattenbury, F. Abe, D. P. Bennett +30
We report a measurement of the shape of the source star in microlensing event MOA 2002-BLG-33. The lens for this event was a close binary whose centre-of-mass passed almost directl…
The line-of-sight towards GRB 030429 at z = 2.66: Probing the matter at stellar, galactic and intergalactic scales
P. Jakobsson, J. Hjorth, J. P. U. Fynbo +21
We report the discovery of the optical afterglow (OA) of the long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 030429, and present a comprehensive optical/near-infrared dataset used to probe the m…
Recent results by the MOA group on gravitational microlensing
P. Yock, I. Bond, N. Rattenbury +25
Recent work by the MOA gravitational microlensing group is briefly described, including (i) the current observing strategy, (ii) use of a high-speed parallel computer for analysis…
Test by JANZOS of the Standard Model of Cosmic Ray Acceleration in the COMPTEL/ROSAT Supernova Renmant
F. Abe, I. Bond, E. Budding +31
A search for ultra-high energy gamma-rays emitted by the young, nearby supernova remnant that was discovered recently by the COMPTEL and ROSAT satellites was made using the JANZOS…
Photometry of pulsating stars in the Magellanic Clouds as observed in the MOA project
J. B. Hearnshaw, I. A. Bond, N. J. Rattenbury +24
A review of the MOA (Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics) project is presented. MOA is a collaboration of approximately 30 astronomers from New Zealand and Japan established…
Mount Pinatubo and Atmospheric Extinction at Mount John University Observatory 1987-94
M. C. Forbes, T. Banks, D. J. Sullivan +3
Atmospheric extinction in the V passband at Mount John University Observatory, New Zealand, from 1987-94 is presented and the effect of the 1991 Mount Pinatubo volcanic eruption is…
