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…
Kinematics, ages, and metallicities of star clusters in NGC 1316: A 3 Gyr old merger remnant
Paul Goudfrooij, Jennifer Mack, Markus Kissler-Patig +2
We report on multi-object spectroscopy of 37 candidate star clusters around the giant early-type radio galaxy NGC 1316 (Fornax A), the brightest galaxy in the Fornax cluster. For t…
A 421 d Activity Cycle in the BeX Recurrent Transient A0538-66 from MACHO monitoring
C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman, D. R. Alves +23
We present a ~ 5-yr optical light curve of the recurrent Be/X-ray transient A0538-66 obtained as a by-product of the MACHO Project. These data reveal both a long-term modulation at…
The MACHO Project Hubble Space Telescope Follow-Up: Preliminary Results on the Location of the Large Magellanic Cloud Microlensing Source Stars
C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman, D. R. Alves +21
We attempt to determine whether the MACHO microlensing source stars are drawn from the average population of the LMC or from a population behind the LMC by examining the HST color-…
Galactic Bulge Microlensing Events with Clump Giants as Sources
P. Popowski, C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman +21
We present preliminary results of the analysis of 5 years of MACHO data on the Galactic bulge microlensing events with clump giants as sources. In particular, we discuss: 1) the se…
