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 MACHO Project LMC Variable Star Inventory: XII. Three Cepheid Variables in Eclipsing Binaries

C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman, D. R. Alves +22

We present a method for solving the lightcurve of an eclipsing binary system which contains a Cepheid variable as one of its components as well as the solutions for three eclipsing…

Gravitational Microlensing Events Due to Stellar Mass Black Holes

D. P. Bennett, A. C. Becker, J. L. Quinn +28

We present an analysis of the longest timescale microlensing events discovered by the MACHO Collaboration during a 7 year survey of the Galactic bulge. We find 6 events that exhibi…

The MACHO Project LMC Variable Star Inventory: X. The R Coronae Borealis Stars

C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman, D. R. Alves +26

We report the discovery of eight new R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using the MACHO project photometry database. The discovery of these new star…

Mass-Losing Semiregular Variable Stars in Baade's Windows

C. Alard, J. Blommaert, C. Cesarsky +38

By cross-correlating the results of two recent large-scale surveys, the general properties of a well defined sample of semi-regular variable stars have been determined. ISOGAL mid-…
