The IRSF Magellanic Clouds Point Source Catalog
Corresponding author: kato@astron.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp
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 10σ 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.
