Evolving server - Work in progress ...

Our main topic is the search for microlensing events induced by brown dwarfs located in our galaxy on stars from the Large Magelanic Cloud. You will eventually find in this server :



NEWS FROM EROS-II

• GSA : Our results toward Galactic Spiral Arms and the variable stars catalogue in these directions.
• At the TAUP99 conference, EROS2 announced new limits on the dark halo of our galaxy : a halo 100% made by machos seems excluded between 0.1 and 1 solar mass. See our press release (sorry, in french...)
  
  
• For the latest news on Eros2 (running at La Silla) go here
  
  
• Results of the EROS SN search (from our 97 autumn campaign onwards) : see our candidates (and finding charts)
  
  
• EROS-II microlensing alerts (under developpement!)
  
  
• Macho announced a binary lens alert towards SMC (MACHO-SMC-98-1). We have done some follow-up from this event. Here is the (STILL VERY PRELIMINARY differential photometry based on Alard and Lupton's method cf astro-ph/9712287) light curve we established, starting within the caustic crossing night (18/06/98), in gif or in gzipped PostScript format, and zooms on the first night in gif or in gzipped PostScript formats. (for further informations please contact N. Palanque-Delabrouille )
  We submitted an article to Astronomy and Astrophysics (also available as astro-ph 9806380) giving the constraints one may extract from our light-curve of MACHO-SMC-98-1.
