The Araucaria Project. The Distance to the Local Group Galaxy WLM from Near-Infrared Photometry of Cepheid Variables
W. Gieren, G. Pietrzynski, O. Szewczyk +5
We have obtained deep images in the near-infrared J and K filters for several fields in the Local Group galaxy WLM. We report intensity mean magnitudes for 31 Cepheids located in t…
Spectral Identification of an Ancient Supernova using Light Echoes in the LMC
A. Rest, T. Matheson, S. Blondin +26
We report the successful identification of the type of the supernova responsible for the supernova remnant SNR 0509-675 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using Gemini spectra of…
The Araucaria Project. The Distance to the Local Group Galaxy WLM from Cepheid Variables discovered in a Wide-Field Imaging Survey
G. Pietrzynski, W. Gieren, A. Udalski +10
We have conducted an extensive wide-field imaging survey for Cepheid variables in the Local Group irregular galaxy WLM. From data obtained on 101 nights, we have discovered 60 Ceph…
Testing LMC Microlensing Scenarios: The Discrimination Power of the SuperMACHO Microlensing Survey
A. Rest, C. Stubbs, A. C. Becker +18
Characterizing the nature and spatial distribution of the lensing objects that produce the previously measured microlensing optical depth toward the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) re…
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…
The SuperMACHO Microlensing Survey
A. C. Becker, A. Rest, C. Stubbs +18
We present the first results from our next-generation microlensing survey, the SuperMACHO project. We are using the CTIO 4m Blanco telescope and the MOSAIC imager to carry out a se…
