Metal-rich Damped/sub-Damped Lyman-alpha Quasar Absorbers at z<1

C. Peroux, J. D. Meiring, V. P. Kulkarni +5

Damped Lyman-alpha absorbers (DLAs), seen in absorption against a background quasar, provide the most detailed probes available of element abundances in the Universe over > 90 % of…

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…

Removing the Microlensing Blending-Parallax Degeneracy Using Source Variability

R. J. Assef, A. Gould, the EROS-2 +2

Microlensing event MACHO 97-SMC-1 is one of the rare microlensing events for which the source is a variable star, simply because most variable stars are systematically eliminated f…

The OGLE-II event sc5_2859 : a Classical Nova outburst?

C. Afonso, J. F. Glicenstein, A. Gould +3

The OGLE-II event sc5_2859 was previously identified as the third longest microlensing event ever observed. Additional photometric observations from the EROS (Experience de Recherc…

The Most Metal-Rich Intervening Quasar Absorber Known

C. Peroux, V. P. Kulkarni, J. Meiring +5

The metallicity in portions of high-redshift galaxies has been successfully measured thanks to the gas observed in absorption in the spectra of quasars, in the Damped Lyman-alpha s…

Galactic Bulge Microlensing Optical Depth from EROS-2

C. Hamadache, L. Le Guillou, P. Tisserand +34

We present a new EROS-2 measurement of the microlensing optical depth toward the Galactic Bulge. Light curves of clump-giant stars distributed over of t…
