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…

Removing the Microlensing Blending-Parallax Degeneracy Using Source Variability

R. J. Assef, A. Gould, the EROS-2 +2

Microlensing event MACHO 97-SMC-1 is one of the rare microlensing events for which the source is a variable star, simply because most variable stars are systematically eliminated f…

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 (…

The MACHO Project Large Magellanic Cloud Variable Star Inventory. XIII. Fourier Parameters for the First Overtone RR Lyrae Variables and the LMC Distance

C. Alcock, D. R. Alves, T. S. Axelrod +21

Fourier coefficents have been derived for the and light curves of 785 overtone RR Lyrae variables in 16 MACHO fields near the bar of the LMC. The and coef…

The MACHO Project Large Magellanic Cloud variable star inventory. XI. Frequency analysis of the fundamental mode RR Lyrae stars

C. Alcock, D. R. Alves, A. Becker +20

We have frequency analyzed 6391 variables classified earlier as fundamental mode RR Lyrae (RR0) stars in the MACHO database on the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The overwhelming ma…
