Brit.

/ˈmatʃəʊ/, U.S.

Forms: 1900s– MACHO, 1900s– macho.

Origin: Formed within English, as an acronym. Etymon: English Massive Compact Halo Object.

Etymology: Acronym < the initial letters of Massive Compact Halo Object, by contrast with the subatomic WIMP n.⁴ (Occasionally considered to be an acronym < the initial letters of Massive Astrophysical Compact Halo Object : compare quot. 1991.)

Astronomy.

A relatively dark, dense object, such as a brown dwarf, a low-mass star, or a black hole, of a kind believed (in some astronomical theories) to occur in a halo around a galaxy and to contain a significant proportion of the galaxy's mass.

ΚΠ

1990 Nature 7 June 478/1 Dark remnants of these stars have been termed ‘Massive Compact Halo Objects’ (MACHOs) by Kim Griest of Berkeley.

1991 K. Griest in Astrophysical Jrnl. 366 412/1 It could also consist of massive astrophysical objects such as brown dwarfs, Jupiters, or black hole remnants of an early generation of stars. (As a major alternative to WIMPs, this latter class should surely be collectively called massive astrophysical compact halo objects (MACHOs).)

1998 Indianapolis Star 20 Aug. a13/1 Since the team found 20 machos in a relatively tiny slice of the galaxy, it figures these invisible objects can account for about half the mass of the galaxy.
