The DENIS Point Source Catalogue towards the Magellanic Clouds

Cross–matching DENIS and 2MASS Point Sources towards the Magellanic Clouds

The recent publications of the DENIS Catalogue towards the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) with more than 1.3 million sources identified in at least two of the three DENIS filters (I J Ks) and of the incremental releases of the 2MASS point source catalogues (J H Ks) covering the same region of the sky, provide an unprecedented wealth of data related to stellar populations in the MCs. In order to build ...

Explanatory Supplement of the ISOGAL - DENIS Point Source Catalogue ⋆ , ⋆ ⋆

We present version 1.0 of the ISOGAL–DENIS Point Source Catalogue (PSC), containing more than 100,000 point sources detected at 7 and/or 15 µm in the ISOGAL survey of the inner Galaxy with the ISOCAM instrument on board the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). These sources are cross-identified, wherever possible, with near-infrared (0.8—2.2 µm) data from the DENIS survey. The overall surface cove...

The Master Catalogue of stars towards the Magellanic Clouds⋆ I. Multispectral surveys of the Large Magellanic Cloud

The Master Catalogue of stars towards the Magellanic Clouds (MC2)⋆⋆ is a multi–wavelength reference catalogue. The current paper presents the first results of the MC2 project. We started with a massive cross– identification of the two recently released near–infrared surveys: the DENIS Catalogue towards the Magellanic Clouds (DCMC) with more than 1.3 million sources identified in at least two of...

EROS2 microlensing search towards the Magellanic Clouds

eros2 is a second generation microlensing experiment operating since mid-1996 at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) at La Silla (Chile). We present the two year analysis from our microlensing search towards the Small Magellanic Cloud (smc), and report on the intensive observation of the caustic crossing event macho-smc98-1 and the limit derived on the location of the lens. We also give pre...
