Microlensig Binaries with Candidate Brown Dwarf Companions

I. -G. Shin, C. Han, A. Gould +152

Brown dwarfs are important objects because they may provide a missing link between stars and planets, two populations that have dramatically different formation history. In this pa…

Characterizing Lenses and Lensed Stars of High-Magnification Single-lens Gravitational Microlensing Events With Lenses Passing Over Source Stars

J. -Y. Choi, I. -G. Shin, S. -Y. Park +148

We present the analysis of the light curves of 9 high-magnification single-lens gravitational microlensing events with lenses passing over source stars, including OGLE-2004-BLG-254…

Microlensing Binaries Discovered through High-Magnification Channel

I. -G. Shin, J. -Y. Choi, S. -Y. Park +148

Microlensing can provide a useful tool to probe binary distributions down to low-mass limits of binary companions. In this paper, we analyze the light curves of 8 binary lensing ev…

The MACHO Project HST Follow-Up: The Large Magellanic Cloud Microlensing Source Stars

C. A. Nelson, A. J. Drake, K. H. Cook +21

We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) WFPC2 photometry of 13 microlensed source stars from the 5.7 year Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) survey conducted by the MACHO Project. The mi…

Galactic Bulge Microlensing Events from the MACHO Collaboration

C. L. Thomas, K. Griest, P. Popowski +21

We present a catalog of 450 high signal-to-noise microlensing events observed by the MACHO collaboration between 1993 and 1999. The events are distributed throughout our fields and…

Microlensing Optical Depth towards the Galactic Bulge Using Clump Giants from the MACHO Survey

P. Popowski, K. Griest, C. L. Thomas +20

Using 7 years of MACHO survey data, we present a new determination of the optical depth to microlensing towards the Galactic bulge. We select the sample of 62 microlensing events (…
