Post Main Sequence Orbital Circularization of Binary Stars in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds
Lorenzo Faccioli, Charles Alcock, Kem Cook
We present results from a study of the orbits of eclipsing binary stars (EBs) in the Magellanic Clouds. The samples comprise 4510 EBs found in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) by t…
Spitzer Space Telescope Observations of the Aftermath of Microlensing Event MACHO-LMC-5
Hien Trong Nguyen, Nitya Kallivayalil, Michael Werner +3
We have carried out photometry of the microlensing event MACHO-LMC-5 with Spitzer's IRAC ten years after the magnification of the LMC source star was recorded. This event is unique…
Recent Microlensing Results from the MACHO Project
P. Popowski, C. A. Nelson, D. P. Bennett +19
We describe a few recent microlensing results from the MACHO Collaboration. The aim of the MACHO Project was the identification and quantitative description of dark and luminous ma…
Statistical Methods for Detecting Stellar Occultations by Kuiper Belt Objects: the Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey
Chyng-Lan Liang, John A. Rice, Imke de Pater +3
The Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) will detect objects in the Kuiper Belt, by measuring the rate of occultations of stars by these objects, using an array of three to…
MACHO Project Analysis of the Galactic Bulge Microlensing Events with Clump Giants as Sources
P. Popowski, T. Vandehei, K. Griest +19
We present preliminary results of the analysis of 5 years of MACHO data on the Galactic bulge microlensing events with clump giants as sources. This class of events allows one to o…
Correcting Parameters of Events Based on the Entropy of Microlensing Ensemble
Piotr Popowski, Charles Alcock
We entertain the idea that robust theoretical expectations can become a tool in removing hidden observational or data-reduction biases. We illustrate this approach for a specific p…
