The MACHO Project Large Magellanic Cloud Variable Star Inventory. VIII. The Recent Star Formation History of the LMC from the Cepheid Period Distribution
C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman, D. R. Alves +20
We present an analysis of the period distribution of Cepheids in the Large Magellanic Cloud, based on data obtained by the MACHO microlensing experiment and on a previo…
The MACHO Project: Microlensing and Variable Stars
The MACHO Collaboration, K. H. Cook, C. Alcock +18
The MACHO Project monitors millions of stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud, the Small Magellanic Cloud and the bulge of the Milky Way searching for the gravitational microlensing s…
The Zero Point of Extinction Toward Baade's Window From RR Lyrae Stars
C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman, D. R. Alves +20
We measure the zero point of the Stanek (1996) extinction map by comparing the observed (V-K) colors of 20 RR Lyrae stars (type ab) found in the MACHO survey with their intrinsic (…
Optical photometry of the eclipsing Large Magellanic Cloud supersoft source CAL 87
C. Alcock
We present optical photometry of the eclipsing supersoft source, CAL87. These observations comprise long term data accumulated as a by-product of the MACHO Project, and high speed…
The X-ray off-state of the supersoft source CAL 83 and its interpretation
C. Alcock et al
We consider simultaneous optical data obtained during the recent X-ray turn-off of CAL83. Combining the optical behaviour with the observed X-ray decay time, we show that a model o…
Cepheids in the LMC: Results from the MACHO Project
The MACHO Collaboration, D. L. Welch, C. Alcock +19
The approximately 1500 Cepheid variables in 22 LMC fields of the MACHO Project survey have been calibrated and analysed. In this paper, we report improved period ratios for a total…
