Scientific paper

The EROS collaboration is dedicated to baryonic dark matter search with microlensing. After the replacement of the camera and telescope in 1996, the search was extended to lenses located in the Galactic disk and bulge. The sources are located in spiral arms and in the Galactic bulge. Sixty square degrees are searched toward the Galactic bulge. The scientific goals include the study of the faint end of the main sequence, the Galactic structure and the search for planets around the lenses. The sources in the present analysis are giant stars which are less blended and less prone to amplification biases. An online detection of microlensing candidates allows to search for finite size effects and other deviations from standard microlensing.
