The Stellar Halo in the Large Magellanic Cloud: Mass, Luminosity, and Microlensing Predictions
David R. Alves
Recently obtained kinematic data has shown that the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) possesses an old stellar halo. In order to further characterize the properties of this halo, parame…
MEGA: Microlensing Exploration of the Galaxy and Andromeda
David R. Alves, Edward A. Baltz, Arlin Crotts +3
This paper has been withdrawn.
A Review of the Distance and Structure of the Large Magellanic Cloud
David R. Alves
The average of 14 recent measurements of the distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) implies a true modulus of 18.50 +- 0.02 mag, and demonstrates a trend in the past 2 years…
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…
Kinematic Evidence for an Old Stellar Halo in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Dante Minniti, Jura Borissova, Marina Rejkuba +3
The oldest and most metal-poor Milky Way stars form a kinematically hot halo, which motivates the two major formation scenarios for our galaxy: extended hierarchical accretion and…
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…
Recent Microlensing Results from the MACHO Project
P. Popowski, C. A. Nelson, D. P. Bennett +19
We describe a few recent microlensing results from the MACHO Collaboration. The aim of the MACHO Project was the identification and quantitative description of dark and luminous ma…
