The EROS2 search for microlensing events towards the spiral arms: the complete seven season results

Y. R. Rahal, C. Afonso, J. -N. Albert +36

The EROS-2 project has been designed to search for microlensing events towards any dense stellar field. The densest parts of the Galactic spiral arms have been monitored to maximiz…

The beat Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds: an analysis from the EROS-2 database

J. B. Marquette, J. P. Beaulieu, J. R. Buchler +36

A number of microlensing dark-matter surveys have produced tens of millions of light curves of individual background stars. These data provide an unprecedented opportunity for syst…

Limits on the Macho Content of the Galactic Halo from the EROS-2 Survey of the Magellanic Clouds

P. Tisserand, L. Le Guillou, C. Afonso +35

The EROS-2 project was designed to test the hypothesis that massive compact halo objects (the so-called ``machos'') could be a major component of the dark matter halo of the Milky…

Removing the Microlensing Blending-Parallax Degeneracy Using Source Variability

R. J. Assef, A. Gould, the EROS-2 +2

Microlensing event MACHO 97-SMC-1 is one of the rare microlensing events for which the source is a variable star, simply because most variable stars are systematically eliminated f…

The OGLE-II event sc5_2859 : a Classical Nova outburst?

C. Afonso, J. F. Glicenstein, A. Gould +3

The OGLE-II event sc5_2859 was previously identified as the third longest microlensing event ever observed. Additional photometric observations from the EROS (Experience de Recherc…

Galactic Bulge Microlensing Optical Depth from EROS-2

C. Hamadache, L. Le Guillou, P. Tisserand +34

We present a new EROS-2 measurement of the microlensing optical depth toward the Galactic Bulge. Light curves of clump-giant stars distributed over of t…
