- Title
THE IRSF MAGELLANIC CLOUDS POINT SOURCE CATALOG.
- Authors

- Abstract
We present a near-infrared (JHKs) photometric catalog including 14 822 341 point sources for a 40 deg² area of the Large Magellanic Cloud, 2 769 682 sources for an 11 deg² area of the Small Magellanic Cloud, and 434 145 sources for a 4 deg² area of the Magellanic Bridge. The 10s limiting magnitudes are 18.8, 17.8, and 16.6 mag at J, H, and Ks, respectively. The photometric and astrometric accuracies for bright sources are 0.03-0.04 mag and 0."1. Based on the catalog, we also present color-color and color-magnitude diagrams for point sources toward the LMC that show features characteristic of MS stars, giants, AGB stars, and Herbig Ae/Be stars in the LMC and background galaxies. We also present the results of analysis for two active star-forming regions, N159/N160 and N11 in the LMC, that demonstrate the usefulness of our data for studies of star formation.
