On the nature of the S stars in the Galactic Center
Jeremy Goodman, Bohdan Paczynski
Davies and King have suggested that the bright stars observed on short-period orbits about Sgr A* (``S stars'') are old, low-mass stripped AGB stars rather than young, high-mass ma…
Gravitational Microlensing: Black Holes, Planets; OGLE, VLTI, HST and Space Probes
Bohdan Paczynski
OGLE and other projects are likely to discover first stellar mass black holes and the first planets through gravitational lensing in the next year or two. It is important to have f…
The Distance to Pleiades
Bohdan Paczynski
The distance to Pleiades remains controversial. There is a simple way to resolve the dispute definitely by measuring the distance to one of its brightest members, Atlas, which is a…
Massive Variability Search and Monitoring by OGLE and ASAS
Bohdan Paczynski
OGLE and ASAS are long term observing projects operated by the Warsaw University Observatory at the Las Campanas site in Chile. OGLE is currently monitoring almost 200 million star…
A Possible Planetary Event OGLE-2002-BLG-055
M. Jaroszynski, B. Paczynski
The microlensing event OGLE-2002-BLG-055 has a single, but very reliable data point, deviating upward from a single source microlensing light curve by 0.6 mag. The simplest interpr…
Massive Variability Searches: The Past, Present and Future Massive Variability Searches
Bohdan Paczynski
Many decades ago a search for variable stars was one of the main areas of astrophysical research. Such searches, conducted with CCD detectors rather than with photographic plates,…
