backCatalog of Cepheids from the SMC
We present the Catalog of Cepheids from the SMC which contains data for
2049 objects detected in the 2.4 square degree area of central parts of the
SMC. For each object period, BVI photometry, astrometry, and R_21,
φ_21 parameters of the Fourier decomposition of
I-band light curve are provided. The Catalog is based on
observations collected during the OGLE-II microlensing survey.
Tests of completeness performed in overlapping parts of adjacent fields
indicate that completeness of the Catalog is very high: about 92%.
Statistics and distributions of basic parameters of Cepheids are also
presented.
Available is an
interactive access
to Cepheid database, allowing to select objects fulfilling user-given
set of criteria and getting data of these objects.
All presented data, including individual BVI observations (about
4.7×105 BVI measurements) are available from
the OGLE Internet archive. See README file there for
details. Photometry of double-mode Cepheids in the SMC is available
here, while photometry of single-mode second overtone Cepheids from
this
link.
Any comments about the data and the form of their presentation are welcome
as they can improve the future releases of catalogs of variable stars
detected by OGLE-II collaboration. Send your messages to
this address.
