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…
