Descripción
This is the first version of a complete near-IR point source catalogue
towards the Magellanic Clouds extracted from the data obtained with the
DEep Near Infraread Survey of the Southern Sky (DENIS). The catalogue
covers an area of 19.87x16 square degrees centered on
(05:27:20-69:00:00) for the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), and 14.7x10
square degrees centered on (01:02:40-73:00:00) for the Small Magellanic
Cloud (SMC). It contains the sources detected in at least 2 of the 3
photometric bands I (Gunn-i centered at 0.8μm), J (centered at
1.25μm), and Ks (centered at 2.15μm). The spatial
resolution is 1" in I and 3" in the J and K bands, and the limiting
magnitudes are I=18, J=16 and Ks=14. 70% of the detected
sources are real members of the Magellanic Clouds, and consist mainly of
red giants, asymptotic giant branch stars and supergiants. (9 data
files).
