backBVI photometric maps of the OGLE-II SMC fields
We present the BVI photometric maps of the Small Magellanic
Cloud. They contain BVI photometry and astrometry of more than 2
million stars from the central parts of the SMC. 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 11 fields
observed by OGLE-II in the SMC.
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 SMC 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.
