Discovery of a Cool Planet of 5.5 Earth Masses Through Gravitational Microlensing

J. -P. Beaulieu, D. P. Bennett, P. Fouque +46

In the favoured core-accretion model of formation of planetary systems, solid planetesimals accumulate to build up planetary cores, which then accrete nebular gas if they are suffi…

EROS 2 photometry of probable R Coronae Borealis stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud

P. Tisserand, J. B. Marquette, J. P. Beaulieu +1

EROS 2 (Experience de Recherche d'Objets Sombres) conducted a survey of the SMC between July 1996 and February 2003 in two EROS broad-band colours, V_E and R_E. The photometric dat…

The PLANET microlensing campaign: Implications for planets around galactic disk and bulge stars

M. Dominik, M. D. Albrow, J. -P. Beaulieu +17

With round-the-clock monitoring of galactic bulge microlensing events, the PLANET experiment constrains the abundance and can yield the discovery of planets down to the mass of ear…

EROS 2 proper motion survey: Constraints on the halo white dwarfs

B. Goldman, C. Afonso, Ch. Alard +9

We are conducting a 377-square-degree proper motion survey in the ~V and I bands in order to determine the cool white dwarf contribution to the Galactic dark matter. Using the 250…

Photometric Constraints on Microlens Spectroscopy of EROS-BLG-2000-5

C. Afonso

We apply EROS photometric data to interpret previously published Keck and VLT spectra of the binary-microlens caustic-crossing event EROS-BLG-2000-5. We show that the VLT data impl…

Observation of Microlensing towards the Galactic Spiral Arms. EROS II 3 year survey

EROS Collaboration

We present an analysis of the light curves of 9.1 million stars observed during three seasons by EROS (Experience de Recherche d'Objets Sombres), in the Galactic plane away from th…
