Scientific paper

The MACHO project is about to release 5.7 years of LMC data revealing ~ 20 candidate microlensing events, and suggesting the existence of dark objects in the Galactic halo. We propose to obtain medium-deep broadband images of 8 of the new candidate source stars. This will allow us to determine a} which star was actually lensed, b} the amount of crowding in our ground-based frames, c} if the stars are normal in the CMD, and d} if they lie preferentially at the back of the LMC. This provides a clear test for microlensing by halo objects.
