Properties of RR Lyrae stars in the inner regions of the Large Magellanic Cloud. II. The extended sample

J. Borissova, D. Minniti, M. Rejkuba +1

All galaxies that have been adequately examined so far have shown an extended stellar halo. To search for such a halo in the LMC we have obtained low-resolution spectra for 100 LMC…

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 (…

Properties of RR Lyrae stars in the Inner Regions of the Large Magellanic Cloud

J. Borissova, D. Minniti, M. Rejkuba +3

We present the radial velocities, metallicities and the K-band magnitudes of 74 RR Lyrae stars in the inner regions of the LMC. The intermediate resolution spectra and infrared ima…

The Mass of the MACHO-LMC-5 Lens Star

Andrew Gould, David P. Bennett, David R. Alves

We combine the available astrometric and photometric data for the 1993 microlensing event MACHO-LMC-5 to measure the mass of the lens, M=0.097 +/- 0.016 Msun. This is the most prec…
