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 RR Lyrae Population of the Galactic Bulge from the MACHO Database

The MACHO Collaboration, C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman +21

Mean colors and magnitudes of RR Lyrae stars in 24 fields towards the Galactic bulge from the MACHO database are presented. Accurate mean reddenings are computed for these fields o…
