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…

Oxygen- and carbon-rich variable red giant populations in the Magellanic Clouds from EROS, OGLE, MACHO, and 2MASS photometry

M. Wisniewski, J. B. Marquette, J. P. Beaulieu +3

The carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) ratio of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars constitutes an important index of evolutionary and environment/metallicity factor. We develop a method for m…

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,…
