The MACHO Project Dark Matter Search
D. P. Bennett, C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman +11
We provide a status report on our search for dark matter in our Galaxy in the form of massive compact halo objects (or Machos), using gravitational microlensing of background stars…
Real-time Detection of Gravitational Microlensing
M. R. Pratt, C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman +17
Real-time detection of microlensing has moved from proof of concept in 1994 to a steady stream of events this year. Global dissemination of these events by the MACHO and OGLE colla…
MACHO COLLABORATION SEARCH FOR BARYONIC DARK MATTER VIA GRAVITATIONAL MICROLENSING
K. Griest, C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman +15
Results are presented from the MACHO collaboration gravitational microlensing search. The experiment and the nearly 50 microlensing events that have been detected are described. Li…
Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds
D. L. Welch, C. Alcock, D. P. Bennett +12
In the past few years, the Magellanic Clouds have been the targets for several major variable star surveys. The results of these surveys are now becoming available and it is clear…
EXPERIMENTAL LIMITS ON THE DARK MATTER HALO OF THE GALAXY FROM GRAVITATIONAL MICROLENSING.
C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman, T. S. Axelrod +16
We have monitored 8.6 million stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud for 1.1 years and have found 3 events consistent with gravitational microlensing. We place strong constraints on t…
