The Capture of Centaurs as Trojans
J. Horner, N. Wyn Evans
Large scale simulations of Centaurs have yielded vast amounts of data, the analysis of which allows interesting but uncommon scenarios to be studied. One such rare phenomenon is th…
The importance of tides for the Local Group dwarf spheroidals
J. I. Read, M. I. Wilkinson, N. Wyn Evans +2
There are two main tidal effects which can act on the Local Group dwarf spheroidals (dSphs): tidal stripping and tidal shocking. Using N-body simulations, we show that tidal stripp…
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…
The mass of dwarf spheroidal galaxies and the missing satellite problem
J. I. Read, M. I. Wilkinson, N. Wyn Evans +2
We present the results from a suite of N-body simulations of the tidal stripping of two-component dwarf galaxies comprising some stars and dark matter. We show that recent kinemati…
Is There a Microlensing Puzzle?
N. W. Evans, V. Belokurov
Using neural networks, Belokurov, Evans & Le Du (2003, 2004) showed that 7 out of the 29 microlensing candidates towards the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) of the MACHO collaboration…
The Nature of Parallax Microlensing Events Towards the Galactic Bulge
M. C. Smith, V. Belokurov, N. W. Evans +2
Perhaps as many as 30 parallax microlensing events are known, thanks to the efforts of the MACHO, OGLE, EROS and MOA experiments monitoring the bulge. Using Galactic models, we con…
