Figure 5: Location of the 30 MACHO fields in a reference frame centred in the LMC centre with the x-axis antiparallel to the right ascension, the y-axis parallel to the declination, and the z-axis (not shown) pointing towards the observer. The location of the 13 microlensing candidates, a subset of the original set B of MACHO candidates that we use in thepresent analysis (Sect. 4.1), is shown. Also shown is the position of the line of nodes and the central band around it, which we exclude inthe asymmetry analysis. |
