Scientific paper

The latest results of the EROS2 experiment are presented. The search for gravitational microlensing events toward the Galactic Center and toward the Magellanic Clouds yielded an optical depth τbulge=0.94± 0.29× 10-6, and a strong limit, combining all EROS analyses, on the composition of the halo. Less than 25% of a standard halo can be composed of MACHOs with a mass range [10-7, 1] M&sun; at the 95% C.L.
