backVI Photometric Maps of OGLE-II Galactic Bulge Fields
We present the VI photometric maps of the Galactic bulge. They
contain VI photometry and astrometry of about 30 million stars from
49 fields of 0.225 square degree each in
the Galactic center region. The data were
collected during the second phase of the OGLE microlensing project. We
discuss the accuracy of data and present color-magnitude diagrams of
selected fields observed by OGLE in the Galactic bulge.
The VI maps of the Galactic bulge are accessible electronically for the
astronomical community from
the OGLE Internet
archive. See README file there for details.
Users of these data are kindly requested to send us a short note. Any
comments about the data and the form of their presentation are also welcome
as they can improve the future releases of photometric maps of other
OGLE-II fields. Send your messages to this address.
