Pulsating Variable Stars in the MACHO Bulge database: The Semiregular Variables

D. Minniti, C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman +17

We review the pulsating stars contained in the top 24 fields of the MACHO bulge database, with special emphasis on the red semiregular stars. Based on period, amplitude and color c…

The MACHO Project SMC Variable Star Inventory: I. The Second-overtone Mode of Cepheid Pulsation From First/Second Overtone (1H/2H) Beat Cepheids

The MACHO Collaboration, C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman +16

We report the discovery of 20 1H/2H and 7 F/1H beat Cepheids in the SMC by the MACHO Project. We utilize the 20 1H/2H stars to determine lightcurve shape for the SMC second-overton…

The MACHO Project LMC Variable Star Inventory: The Discovery of RV Tauri stars and New Type II Cepheids in the LMC

The MACHO Collaboration, C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman +19

We report the discovery of RV Tauri stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud. In light and colour curve behaviour, the RV Tauri stars appear to be a direct extension of the type II Ceph…

First detection of a gravitational microlensing candidate towards the Small Magellanic Cloud

The MACHO Collaboration, C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman +20

We report the first discovery of a gravitational microlensing candidate towards a new population of source stars, the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The candidate event's light curv…

Bulge delta Scuti Stars in the MACHO Database

The MACHO Collaboration, C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman +20

We describe the search for delta Scuti stars in the MACHO database of bulge fields. Concentrating on a sample of high amplitude delta Scutis, we examine the light curves and pulsat…
