EROS light curve data base

C. Afonso, J. -N. Albert, R. Ansari +18

The EROS project (Expérience de Recherche d'Objets Sombres) carried out photometric surveys of dense stellar fields towards the Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC), the Galactic Bulge…

New limits from microlensing on Galactic Black Holes in the mass range

T. Blaineau, M. Moniez, C. Afonso +17

We have searched for long duration microlensing events originating from intermediate mass Black Holes (BH) in the halo of the Milky Way, using archival data from EROS-2 and MACHO p…

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…

Type Ia supernova rate at a redshift of ~ 0.1

G. Blanc, C. Afonso, C. Alard +58

We present the type Ia rate measurement based on two EROS supernova search campaigns (in 1999 and 2000). Sixteen supernovae identified as type Ia were discovered. The measurement o…

Bulge Microlensing Optical Depth from EROS 2 observations

C. Afonso, J. -N. Albert, C. Alard +7

We present a measurement of the microlensing optical depth toward the Galactic bulge based on the analysis of 15 contiguous1 square degrees fields centered on (l=2.5 deg, b=-4.0 de…

Limits on Galactic Dark Matter with 5 Years of EROS SMC Data

EROS Collaboration

Five years of EROS data towards the Small Magellanic Cloud have been searched for gravitational microlensing events, using a new, more accurate method to assess the impact of stell…
