We analyse a series of pilot observations in order to study microlensing of (unresolved) stars in M 31 with the 1.5 m Loiano telescope, including observations on both identified variable source stars and reported microlensing events. We also look for previously unknown variability and discover a nova. We discuss an observing strategy for an extended campaign with the goal of determining whether MACHOs exist or whether all microlensing events are compatible with lens stars in M 31.

Abstract
We analyse a series of pilot observations in order to study microlensing of (unresolved) stars in M 31 with the 1.5 m Loiano telescope, including observations on both identified variable source stars and reported microlensing events. We also look for previously unknown variability and discover a nova. We discuss an observing strategy for an extended campaign with the goal of determining whether MACHOs exist or whether all microlensing events are compatible with lens stars in M 31.File in questo prodotto:
