Microlensing Surveys of M31 in the Wide Field Imaging Era
The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is the closest large galaxy to the Milky Way, thus it is an important laboratory for studying massive dark objects in galactic halos (MACHOs) by gravitational microlensing. Such studies strongly complement the studies of the Milky Way halo using the the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. We consider the possibilities for microlensing surveys of M31 using the next gene...
متن کاملMachine Learning Classifier Performance as an Indicator for Data Acquisition Regimes in Geographical Field Surveys
Environmental scientists prefer to construct Spatial Information System (SIS) decision support from the smallest possible data. This is due to the considerable cost of ground-based surveys for data collection. This paper extends on the work of 9, 2] and reports on the use of machine learning classiiers to obtain the minimum sample size for ground-based data surveys. The study of machine learnin...
متن کاملAstrometry in Wide-field Surveys
We present a robust and fast algorithm for performing astrometry and source cross-identification on two dimensional point lists, such as between a catalogue and an astronomical image, or between two images. The method is based on minimal assumptions: the lists can be rotated, magnified and inverted with respect to each other in an arbitrary way. The algorithm is tailored to work efficiently on ...
متن کاملGround-based Microlensing Surveys
Microlensing is a proven extrasolar planet search method that has already yielded the detection of four exoplanets. These detections have changed our understanding of planet formation “beyond the snowline” by demonstrating that Neptune-mass planets with separations of several AU are common. Microlensing is sensitive to planets that are generally inaccessible to other methods, in particular cool...
متن کاملA Trend Filtering Algorithm for wide field variability surveys
We show that various systematics related to certain instrumental effects and data reduction anomalies in wide field variability surveys can be efficiently corrected by a Trend Filtering Algorithm (TFA) applied to the photometric time series produced by standard data pipelines. Statistical tests, performed on the database of the HATNet project, show that by the application of this filtering meth...
