Detectability of Occultation of Stars by Objects in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud
T. C. Nihei, M. J. Lehner, F. B. Bianco +3
The serendipitous detection of stellar occultations by Outer Solar System objects is a powerful method for ascertaining the small end ( km) of the size distribution…
Search for Small Trans-Neptunian Objects by the TAOS Project
W. P. Chen, C. Alcock, T. Axelrod +24
The Taiwan-America Occultation Survey (TAOS) aims to determine the number of small icy bodies in the outer reach of the Solar System by means of stellar occultation. An array of 4…
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…
