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…

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…
