Kavli Affiliate: Richard D. Robinson | Summary:The Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) satellite has obtained high time resolution ultraviolet photometry during a large flare on the M4 dwarf star GJ 3685A. Simultaneous NUV (1750 – 2800A) and FUV (1350 – 1750A) time-tagged photometry with time resolution better than 0.1 s shows that the overall brightness in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Geza Gyuk | Summary:We present results of a microlensing survey toward the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) carried out during four observing seasons at the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT). This survey is part of the larger microlensing survey toward M31 performed by the Microlensing Exploration of the Galaxy and Andromeda (MEGA) collaboration. Using a fully […]
Kavli Affiliate: Geza Gyuk | Summary:We investigate $HST$/ACS and WFPC2 images at the positions of five candidate microlensing events from a large survey of variability in M31 (MEGA). Three closely match unresolved sources, and two produce only flux upper limits. All are confined to regions of the color-magnitude diagram where stellar variability is unlikely to […]
