Scientific paper

We will image three LMC microlensing events with IRAC to probe the properties of the lensing object. We seek to address whether or not the lenses belong to some population of dwarf stars within the disk that are too cool to have been detected with conventional telescopes thus far or are part of a previously undetected disk-like structure in the halo of our galaxy. In most cases, the lens and source cannot be resolved individually, however, the presence of a cool lens can be inferred by way of an infrared excess.
