The IRSF Magellanic Clouds Point Source Catalog
Abstract
We present a near-infrared (JHKs) photometric catalog, including 14811185 point sources for a 40 deg² area of the Large Magellanic Cloud, 2769682 sources for an 11 deg² area of the Small Magellanic Cloud, and 434145 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, respectively. Based on the catalog, we also present (1) spatial distributions, (2) luminosity functions, (3) color-color diagrams, and (4) color-magnitude diagrams for point sources toward the Magellanic Clouds.
