New Magellanic Cloud R Coronae Borealis and DY Per type stars from the EROS-2 database: the connection between RCBs, DYPers and ordinary carbon stars

P. Tisserand, P. R. Wood, J. B. Marquette +29

R Coronae Borealis stars (RCB) are a rare type of evolved carbon-rich supergiant stars that are increasingly thought to result from the merger of two white dwarfs, called the Doubl…

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…

Discovery of a peculiar Cepheid-like star towards the northern edge of the Small Magellanic Cloud

J. B. Marquette, P. Tisserand, P. Francois +37

For seven years, the EROS-2 project obtained a mass of photometric data on variable stars. We present a peculiar Cepheid-like star, in the direction of the Small Magellanic Cloud,…

R Coronae Borealis stars in the Galactic Bulge discovered by EROS-2

P. Tisserand, J. B. Marquette, P. R. Wood +33

Rare types of variable star may give unique insight into short-lived stages of stellar evolution. The systematic monitoring of millions of stars and advanced light curve analysis t…

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…
