The VMC Survey - X. Cepheids, RR Lyrae stars and binaries as probes of the Magellanic System's structure
M. I. Moretti, G. Clementini, T. Muraveva +12
The VMC survey is obtaining multi-epoch photometry in the Ks band of the Magellanic System down to a limiting magnitude of Ks ~ 19.3 for individual epoch data. The observations are…
Finding RR Lyrae Stars with SkyMapper: an Observational Test
S. Akhter, G. S. Da Costa, S. C. Keller +3
One of the major science goals of the SkyMapper Survey of the Southern Hemisphere sky is the determination of the shape and extent of the halo of the Galaxy. In this paper we quant…
An improved quasar detection method in EROS-2 and MACHO LMC datasets
Karim Pichara, Pavlos Protopapas, Dae-Won Kim +2
We present a new classification method for quasar identification in the EROS-2 and MACHO datasets based on a boosted version of Random Forest classifier. We use a set of variabilit…
Space based microlensing planet searches
J. P. Beaulieu, P. Tisserand, V. Batista
The discovery of extra-solar planets is arguably the most exciting development in astrophysics during the past 15 years, rivalled only by the detection of dark energy. Two projects…
Main Sequence Star Populations in the Virgo Overdensity Region
H. Jerjen, G. S. Da Costa, B. Willman +12
We present deep CMDs for two Subaru Suprime-Cam fields in the Virgo Stellar Stream(VSS)/Virgo Overdensity(VOD) and compare them to a field centred on the highest concentration of S…
