The MACHO Project Image Archive ConeSearch Service(MACHO Image ConeSearch)
The MACHO Project was a collaboration between scientists at Mt. Stromlo & Siding Spring Observatories, Center for Particle Astrophysics at Santa Barbara, San Diego, & Berkeley campuses of the University of California, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, to test the hypothesis that a significant fraction of the dark matter in the halo of the Milky Way is made up of objects known as MACHOs, for MAssive Compact Halo Objects. The signature of these objects is the amplification of light from extragalactic stars by gravitational lensing. The amplification can be large, but events are extremely rare: it was necessary to monitor photometrically several million stars for a period of 10 years in order to obtain a useful detection rate. For this purpose we built a two channel system that employed eight CCDs, mounted on the 50 inch telescope at Mt. Stromlo. We collected ~127,000 images with this system between 1992 and 2003.
The MACHO project data archive consists of approximately 127,000 two-colour images of fields covering the large and small Magellanic clouds and the galactic bulge, and two-colour light-curves for approximately 18 million stars in the LMC and galactic bulge. This data was collected over an approximately ten year period from 1992 to 2003. CONESEARCH
