backVI photometric maps of the OGLE-III LMC fields
We present the OGLE-III Photometric Maps of the Large Magellanic Cloud.
They cover about 40 square degrees of the LMC and contain mean,
calibrated VI photometry and astrometry of about 35 million stars
observed during seven observing seasons of the third phase of the
Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment - OGLE-III. We discuss the
quality of data and present color-magnitude diagrams of selected fields.
To check if we observe(d) at particular RA/Dec, use
OGLE Field Finder.
The OGLE-III Photometric Maps of the LMC are available to the
astronomical community from
the OGLE Internet archive. See README file there for details.
Any comments about the data and the form of their presentation are welcome
as they can improve the future releases of photometric maps of other
OGLE-III fields. Send your messages to
this address.
