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…
MACHO Project Analysis of the Galactic Bulge Microlensing Events with Clump Giants as Sources
P. Popowski, T. Vandehei, K. Griest +19
We present preliminary results of the analysis of 5 years of MACHO data on the Galactic bulge microlensing events with clump giants as sources. This class of events allows one to o…
VLT Deep I-band Surface Brightness Fluctuations of IC 4296
S. Mei, D. R. Silva, P. J. Quinn
From theoretical predictions, the introduction of 8-m class telescopes permits one to extend Surface Brightness Fluctuations measurements from the ground to ~7000 km/s, with a prec…
Galactic Bulge Microlensing Events with Clump Giants as Sources
P. Popowski, C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman +21
We present preliminary results of the analysis of 5 years of MACHO data on the Galactic bulge microlensing events with clump giants as sources. In particular, we discuss: 1) the se…
The Blazhko Effect in RR Lyrae stars: Strong observational support for the oblique pulsator model in three stars
The MACHO Collaboration, C. Alcock, D. R. Alves +17
Using the novel data set of the MACHO project, we show that three ``Blazhko Effect'' RR Lyrae stars show nearly-pure amplitude modulation of a single pulsation mode. This is strong…
Pulsating Variable Stars in the MACHO Bulge database: The Semiregular Variables
D. Minniti, C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman +17
We review the pulsating stars contained in the top 24 fields of the MACHO bulge database, with special emphasis on the red semiregular stars. Based on period, amplitude and color c…
