The MACHO Project Dark Matter Search
D. P. Bennett, C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman +11
We provide a status report on our search for dark matter in our Galaxy in the form of massive compact halo objects (or Machos), using gravitational microlensing of background stars…
Real-time Detection of Gravitational Microlensing
M. R. Pratt, C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman +17
Real-time detection of microlensing has moved from proof of concept in 1994 to a steady stream of events this year. Global dissemination of these events by the MACHO and OGLE colla…
MACHO COLLABORATION SEARCH FOR BARYONIC DARK MATTER VIA GRAVITATIONAL MICROLENSING
K. Griest, C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman +15
Results are presented from the MACHO collaboration gravitational microlensing search. The experiment and the nearly 50 microlensing events that have been detected are described. Li…
Variable Stars in the MACHO Collaboration Database
K. H. Cook, C. Alcock, R. A. Allsman +13
The MACHO Collaboration's search for baryonic dark matter via its gravitational microlensing signature has generated a massive database of time ordered photometry of millions of st…
Ground-based Discovery of Cepheids and Miras in M101
David R. Alves, Kem H. Cook
We have identified 4 Cepheids and 5 Miras using KPNO 4m BVRI images of an outer field in M101. The Cepheid and Mira periods range from 30 to 60 days and 350 to 800 days, respective…
Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds
D. L. Welch, C. Alcock, D. P. Bennett +12
In the past few years, the Magellanic Clouds have been the targets for several major variable star surveys. The results of these surveys are now becoming available and it is clear…
