Unraveling the MACHO Mystery

小行星9419200 古尔德博士将开发新的方法来提取有关最近在正在进行的实验中发现的大质量致密天体（MACHO）的额外信息。 古尔德博士将进行几项相互关联的调查，旨在为实际测量其他COMO参数奠定基础。 有三种基本的方法来提取额外的参数：（1）测量视差;（2）测量自行;（3）测量MACHO的分布。 PI将采用所有三种方法。

9419200 Gould Dr. Gould will develop new methods of extracting additional information about the massive compact objects (MACHOs) that have recently been detected in ongoing experiments. Dr. Gould will undertake several inter- related investigations aimed at laying the basis for practical measurements of additional MACHO parameters. There are three basic approaches to extracting additional parameters: (1) measure the MACHO parallax; (2) measure the MACHO proper motion; and (3) measure the distribution of MACHOs. The PI will pursue all three approaches.
