Scientific paper

Between July 1996 and March 2003 the EROS-2 (Expérience de Recherche d'Objets Sombres) collaboration has conducted a large photometric survey mainly towards the Magellanic Clouds and the Galactic centre, in order to detect the baryonic dark matter in the Halo by microlensing effect. If it is now recognized that massive compact objects are not the major component of the Halo, tens of millions of light curves are now available for the stellar community. A specific server hosted by a CEA machine has been developped, in order to open a public access to these data. In its present configuration the so-called ELCS server contains more than 32 millions of Magellanic Clouds objects. The server is presented together with recent results of data mining in the EROS-2 database, including the detection of the first R Coronae Borealis stars in the SMC and a systematic search of double mode objects.
