Searching for MACHOs in Andromeda with INT

Kerins, Eamonn

Original · EN

Two teams are using the Isaac Newton Telescope to conduct a microlensing search for massive compact halo objects (MACHOs) in Andromeda. We discuss both the motivation of the surveys and the obstacles they must overcome. The key to success is the spatial distribution of detected events. We present a detailed simulation of this observable.
