backBVI photometric maps of the OGLE-II LMC fields
We present the BVI photometric maps of the Large Magellanic
Cloud. They contain BVI photometry and astrometry of more than 7
million stars from the central parts of the LMC. The data were collected
during the second phase of the OGLE microlensing project. We discuss the
accuracy of the data and present color-magnitude diagrams of all 26 fields
observed by OGLE in the LMC.
To see a schematic map in celestial coordinates, go to our
Maps Page.
To check if we observe(d) at particular RA/Dec, use
OGLE Field Finder.
The BVI maps of the LMC 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.
