摘要
We searched for long-duration microlensing events originating from intermediate-mass black holes (BH) in the halo of the MilkyWay, using archival data from the EROS-2 and MACHO photometric surveys towards the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We combined data from these two surveys to create a common database of light curves for 14.1 million objects in the LMC, covering a total duration of 10.6 years, with flux series measured in four wide passbands. We carried out a microlensing search on these light curves, complemented by the light curves of 22.7 million objects, observed only by EROS-2 or only by MACHO, over about 7 years, with flux series measured in only two passbands. A likelihood analysis, taking into account the LMC self-lensing and Milky Way disk contributions, allows us to conclude that compact objects with masses in the range 10 100 M-circle dot cannot make up more than similar to 15% of a standard halo total mass (at a 95% confidence level). Our analysis sensitivity weakens for heavier objects, although we still rule out the possibility of similar to 50% of the halo being made of similar to 1000 M-circle dot BHs. Combined with previous EROS results, an upper limit of similar to 15% of the total halo mass can be obtained for the contribution of compact halo objects in the mass range 10(6) - 10(2) M-circle dot.
