Table 4: The 11 events of the EROS collaboration used in the past to set upper limits on the microlensing optical depth toward the LMC and to measure the depth toward the SMC. Candidates marked "B-S'' in Col. 2 occur on stars in the EROS-2 Bright-Star Sample. All candidates except EROS2-SMC-1 have been eliminated as variable stars or as supernovae.
