MACHO 96‐LMC‐2: Lensing of a Binary Source in the Large Magellanic Cloud and Constraints on the Lensing Object

We present photometry and analysis of the microlensing alert MACHO 96-LMC-2 (event LMC-14 in an earlier paper). This event was initially detected by the MACHO Alert System and subsequently monitored by the Global Microlensing Alert Network (GMAN). The ~3% photometry provided by the GMAN follow-up effort reveals a periodic modulation …
