The MACHO Project HST Follow-Up: The Large Magellanic Cloud Microlensing Source Stars

C. A. Nelson, A. J. Drake, K. H. Cook +21

We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) WFPC2 photometry of 13 microlensed source stars from the 5.7 year Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) survey conducted by the MACHO Project. The mi…

The Extinction Toward the Galactic Bulge from RR Lyrae Stars

Andrea Kunder, Piotr Popowski, Kem H. Cook +1

We present mean reddenings toward 3525 RR0 Lyrae stars from the Galactic bulge fields of the MACHO Survey. These reddenings are determined using the color at minimum -band light…

A test for the universality of extinction curve shape

Anna Geminale, Piotr Popowski

We present an analysis of 436 lines of sight with extinction data covering wavelength range from near-infrared (NIR) to ultraviolet (UV). We use J, H, K photometry from 2MASS datab…

Can CCM law properly represent all extinction curves?

Anna Geminale, Piotr Popowski

We present the analysis of a large sample of lines of sight with extinction curves covering wavelength range from near-infrared (NIR) to ultraviolet (UV). We derive total to select…

Galactic Bulge Microlensing Events from the MACHO Collaboration

C. L. Thomas, K. Griest, P. Popowski +21

We present a catalog of 450 high signal-to-noise microlensing events observed by the MACHO collaboration between 1993 and 1999. The events are distributed throughout our fields and…

Microlensing Optical Depth towards the Galactic Bulge Using Clump Giants from the MACHO Survey

P. Popowski, K. Griest, C. L. Thomas +20

Using 7 years of MACHO survey data, we present a new determination of the optical depth to microlensing towards the Galactic bulge. We select the sample of 62 microlensing events (…
