TL;DR: In this article, the authors used EROS data towards the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) to search for gravitational microlensing events, using a new, more accurate method to assess the impact of stellar blending on the efficiency.

TL;DR: In this article, 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 deg) and containing 1.42 million clump-giant stars (belonging to the extended clump area) monitored during almost three bulge seasons by EROS (Experience de Recherche d'Objets Sombres).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a 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 2 for which they possess three epochs, and applying selection criteria designed to isolate halo-type objects.
