This paper describes the Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), marking the completion of the original goals of the SDSS and the end of the phase known as SDS…
Blending in Gravitational Microlensing Experiments: Source Confusion And Related Systematics
Martin C. Smith, Przemyslaw Wozniak, Shude Mao +1
Gravitational microlensing surveys target very dense stellar fields in the local group. As a consequence the microlensed source stars are often blended with nearby unresolved stars…
Modelling the Galactic bar using OGLE-II Red Clump Giant Stars
Nicholas J. Rattenbury, Shude Mao, Takahiro Sumi +1
Red clump giant stars can be used as distance indicators to trace the mass distribution of the Galactic bar. We use RCG stars from 44 bulge fields from the OGLE-II microlensing col…
Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment. OGLE-1999-BUL-32: the Longest Ever Microlensing Event -- Evidence for a Stellar Mass Black Hole?
Shude Mao, Martin C. Smith, P. Wozniak +5
We describe the discovery of the longest microlensing event ever observed, OGLE-1999-BUL-32, also independently identified by the MACHO collaboration as MACHO-99-BLG-22. This uniqu…
