MACHO 96-LMC-2: Lensing of a Binary Source in the LMC and Constraints on the Lensing Object
C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman, D. R. Alves +21
We present photometry and analysis of the microlensing alert MACHO 96-LMC-2. The ~3% photometry provided by the Global Microlensing Alert Network follow--up effort reveals a period…
MACHO Project Limits on Black Hole Dark Matter in the 1-30 Solar Mass Range
The Macho collaboration, C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman +22
We report on a search for long duration microlensing events towards the Large Magellanic Cloud. We find none, and therefore put limits on the contribution of high mass objects to t…
The MACHO Project LMC Variable Star Inventory. IX. Frequency Analysis of the First Overtone RR Lyrae Stars and the Indication for Nonradial Pulsations
C. Alcock, R. Allsman, D. R. Alves +26
More than 1300 variables classified provisionally as first overtone RR Lyrae pulsators in the MACHO variable star database of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) have been subjected t…
Global Spiral Modes in NGC 1566: Observations and Theory
V. Korchagin, N. Kikuchi, S. M. Miyama +2
We present an observational and theoretical study of the spiral structure in galaxy NGC 1566. A digitized image of NGC 1566 in I-band was used for measurements of the radial depend…
The MACHO Project: Microlensing Detection Efficiency
The MACHO collaboration, C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman +22
The MACHO project is a search for dark matter in the form of massive compact halo objects (MACHOs). The project has photometrically monitored tens of millions of stars in the Large…
The MACHO project: Microlensing Optical Depth towards the Galactic Bulge from Difference Image Analysis
C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman, D. R. Alves +21
We present the microlensing optical depth towards the Galactic bulge based on the detection of 99 events found in our Difference Image Analysis (DIA) survey. This analysis encompas…
