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…

The MACHO Project: Microlensing Results from 5.7 Years of LMC Observations

The MACHO collaboration, C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman +23

We report on our search for microlensing towards the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Analysis of 5.7 years of photometry on 11.9 million stars in the LMC reveals 13 - 17 microlensing…

First detection of a gravitational microlensing candidate towards the Small Magellanic Cloud

The MACHO Collaboration, C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman +20

We report the first discovery of a gravitational microlensing candidate towards a new population of source stars, the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The candidate event's light curv…
