A Prototype for Science Alerts
N. W. Evans, V. Belokurov
Many of the science goals of the GAIA mission, especially for bursting or time-varying phenomena like supernovae or microlensing, require an early identification, analysis and rele…
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…
Chemical Evolution in the Carina Dwarf Spheroidal
A. Koch, E. K. Grebel, D. Harbeck +5
We present metallicities for 487 red giants in the Carina dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy that were obtained from FLAMES low-resolution Ca triplet (CaT) spectroscopy. We find a mean…
A photometrically and kinematically distinct core in the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy
J. T. Kleyna, M. I. Wilkinson, N. W. Evans +1
We present the line of sight radial velocity dispersion profile of the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph), based on a sample of 88 stars extending to about 1 degree (about 1.5…
Distant field BHB stars and the mass of the Galaxy II: Photometry and spectroscopy of UKST candidates 16<B<19.5, 11<R<52 kpc
L. Clewley, S. J. Warren, P. C. Hewett +2
This is the second in a series of papers presenting a new calculation of the mass of the Galaxy based on radial velocities and distances for a sample of faint 16 < B < 21.3 field b…
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…
