Experimental limits on the contribution of sub-stellar and stellar objects to the galactic halo (1995)

Ansari, R., Cavalier, F., Moniez, M., Aubourg, E., Bareyre, P., Brehin, S., ...

EROS (Exp\'erience de Recherche d'Objets Sombres) has been monitoring the luminosity of 4 million stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud in order to search for gravitational microlensing by unseen...

Spectroscopic Studies of the Two Eros Candidate Microlensed Stars (1994)

Beaulieu, J. P., Ferlet, R., Grison, Ph., Vidal-Madjar, A., Kneib, J. P., Maurice, E., ...

Low resolution spectroscopy, and UBVRI photometry, have been obtained for the two EROS microlensing candidates. Radial velocities indicate that both stars are members of the Large Magellanic Cloud....

Variability of the post-agb star hr-4049 - dust obscuration in a binary-system (1991)

Lamers, Hjglm, Waters, L, Rufener, F, Trams, Nr, Lebertre, T, ...

The variability of the peculiar post-AGB star HR 4049 is investigated. The data are 250 photometric observations in the Geneva system, most of which were taken during seven subsequent seasons,...

Beta Pictoris: Back To The Zams

F. Crifo, A. Vidal-Madjar, R. Lallement, R. Ferlet, M. Gerbaldi

According to its new Hipparcos parallax, the star Beta Pictoris is farther away and hence more luminous than previously believed. In the HR diagram, the star is now very close to, or on the ZAMS,...
