![]() | Gondolo, Paolo | AGAPE, a microlensing search in the direction of M31: status report | The M31 galaxy in Andromeda is the nearest large galaxy after the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds. It is a giant galaxy, roughly 2 times as large as our Milky Way, and has its own halo. As pointed by some of us [1, 2] and independantly by A. Crotts [3], M31 provides a rich field of stars to searc... | AGAPE; Andromeda Gravitational Amplification Pixel Experiment; Microlensing; MACHO; Massive compact halo objects | 1995 |

![]() | Gondolo, Paolo | AGAPE: a search for dark matter in M31 by microlensing effects on unresolved stars | M 31 is a very tempting target for a microlensing search of compact objects in galactic haloes. It is the nearest large galaxy, it probably has its own dark halo, and its tilted position with respect to the line of sight provides an unmistakable signature of microlensing. However most stars of M 31... | M31; AGAPE; Pixel method; Galaxy; Halo; Cosmology; Gravitational lensing | 1997 |

![]() | Gondolo, Paolo | AGAPE: andromeda gravitational amplification pixel experiment | The aim of the AGAPE (Andromeda Gravitational Ampli_x000C_cation Pixel Experiment), experiment which has been _x000C_rst proposed in June 1992 is to examine the distribution of massive astrophysical compact halo objects ((MACHO's) which possibly are in the galactic haloes and which could account for... | AGAPE; Andromeda Gravitational Amplification Pixel Experiment; Microlensing; MACHO; Massive compact halo objects | 1997 |

![]() | Gondolo, Paolo | Variable stars toward the bulge of M 31: the AGAPE catalogue | We present the AGAPE astrometric and photometric catalogue of 1579 variable stars in a 14' × 10' field centred on M 31. This work is the first survey devoted to variable stars in the bulge of M 31. The R magnitudes of the objects and the B − R colours suggest that our sample is dominated by red l... | M31; AGAPE; X-rays; Cepheids; Novae | 2004-07 |
