We report the discovery of eight new R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using the MACHO project photometry database. The discovery of these new stars increases the number of known RCB stars in the LMC to thirteen. We have also discovered four stars similar to the Galactic variable DY Per. ... We find a much larger range of absolute magnitudes (MV=-2.5 to -5 mag) than inferred from the small pre-MACHO sample of LMC RCB stars. ...
