MACHO 96-LMC-2: Lensing of a Binary Source in the LMC and Constraints on the Lensing Object

C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman, D. R. Alves +21

We present photometry and analysis of the microlensing alert MACHO 96-LMC-2. The ~3% photometry provided by the Global Microlensing Alert Network follow--up effort reveals a period…

MACHO Project Limits on Black Hole Dark Matter in the 1-30 Solar Mass Range

The Macho collaboration, C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman +22

We report on a search for long duration microlensing events towards the Large Magellanic Cloud. We find none, and therefore put limits on the contribution of high mass objects to t…

CCD Photometry of the Globlular Cluster NGC 5986 and its Post-Asymptotic-Giant-Branch and RR Lyrae Stars

D. R. Alves, H. E. Bond, C. Onken

We have obtained new CCD BV photometry of the little-studied southern Galactic globular cluster NGC 5986, including light curves of 5 of its RR Lyrae variables. The cluster's red g…

A 421 d Activity Cycle in the BeX Recurrent Transient A0538-66 from MACHO monitoring

C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman, D. R. Alves +23

We present a ~ 5-yr optical light curve of the recurrent Be/X-ray transient A0538-66 obtained as a by-product of the MACHO Project. These data reveal both a long-term modulation at…

The MACHO Project Hubble Space Telescope Follow-Up: Preliminary Results on the Location of the Large Magellanic Cloud Microlensing Source Stars

C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman, D. R. Alves +21

We attempt to determine whether the MACHO microlensing source stars are drawn from the average population of the LMC or from a population behind the LMC by examining the HST color-…
