The IRSF Magellanic Clouds Point Source Catalog
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 November 2008
Abstract
We present a near-infrared (JHKs) photometric catalogincluding 14 822 341 point sourcesfor a 40 deg2 area of the Large Magellanic Cloud,2 769 682 sources for an 11 deg2 area of the Small Magellanic Cloud,and 434 145 sources for a 4 deg2 area of the Magellanic Bridge.The 10σ limiting magnitudes are 18.8, 17.8, and 16.6 magat J, H, and Ks, respectively.The photometric and astrometric accuracies for bright sourcesare 0.03–0.04 mag and 0$\farcs$1.Based on the catalog, we also presentcolor-color and color-magnitude diagramsfor point sources toward the LMCthat show features characteristic of MS stars, giants, AGB stars,and Herbig Ae/Be stars in the LMC and background galaxies.We also present the results of analysisfor two active star-forming regions, N159/N160 and N11 in the LMC, thatdemonstrate the usefulness of our data for studies of star formation.Catalog data are available athttp://pasj.asj.or.jp/v59/n3/590315/and ftp://dbc.nao.ac.jp/DBC/ADACnew/.
