Gravitational microlensing and the galactic halo
By means of extensive galactic modeling we study the implications of the MACHO, EROS, and OGLE microlensing results for the composition of the dark halo of the Galaxy as well as for other properties of the Galaxy. While microlensing toward the LMC most directly probes the halo MACHO mass fraction, …
