Abstract:
The new VISual and Infrared Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) has
started operations in 2009. Over its first five years it collected
data for six public surveys, one of which is the near-infrared YJKs
VISTA survey of the Magellanic Clouds system (VMC). This survey
comprises the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), the Small Magellanic
Cloud, the Magellanic Bridge connecting the two galaxies and two
fields in the Magellanic Stream.
The main goals of the VMC survey are the determination of the
spatially-resolved star-formation history and the three-dimensional
structure of the Magellanic system. The VMC survey is therefore
designed to reach stars as faint as the oldest main sequence turn-off
point and to constrain the mean magnitude of pulsating variables such
as RR Lyrae stars and Cepheids.
The VMC data are comprised of multi-epoch observations which are
executed following specific time constraints.
The first science results, aimed at assessing the scientific quality
of the VMC data, include an overview of the distribution of stars in
colour-magnitude and colour-colour diagrams, the detection of
planetary nebulae and stellar clusters, and the Ks band light-curves
of variable stars.
The VMC survey represents a tremendous improvement, in spatial
resolution and sensitivity, on previous panoramic observations of the
Magellanic system in the near-infrared, providing a powerful
complement to deep observations at other wavelengths.
Description:
The VISTA survey of the Magellanic Clouds system (VMC) survey is a
homogeneous and uniform YJKs survey of ∼184deg2 across the
Magellanic system. Observations were obtained with the VISTA telescope
as part of the VISTA survey of the Magellanic Cloud system (VMC; ESO
program 179.B-2003). This data release is based on the observations
of twelve new VMC survey tiles LMC 3_5, 4_2, 4_3, 7_3, 9_3, SMC 4_3,
5_2, 5_4, BRI 2_8, 3_5, and STR 1_1, 2_1. Observations were acquired
between November 2009 and August 2013.
Acknowledging the VMC in publications:
Please include the following acknowledgment in any published material
that makes use of this data products: Based on observations made with
ESO Telescopes at the La Silla or Paranal Observatories under
programme ID 179.B-2003.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (1): The IAUNAME of sources in the PSF catalogues may not be
unique. At this stage, sources in the overlap of tiles will appear
with the same IAUNAME. Furthermore, the IAUNAME is rounded to two
decimal points in arcsec, hence, it may be possible that two
sufficiently close extractions result in two sources with the
same IAUNAME.
Note (2): Sources are unique within each tile. Where PRIORSEC>0
signifies that a source is located in a region of overlap with
an adjacent tile that is not yet part of the current release.
Note (3): Class flag as follows:
1 = gal (6605196 occurrences in merged bands)
0 = noise (36890 occurrences in merged bands)
-1 = star (6473980 occurrences in merged bands)
-2 = probStar (702149 occurrences in merged bands)
-3 = probGal (39431 occurrences in merged bands)
-9 = saturated (0 occurrence)
Note (4): Quality error bit flags assigned during post processing
are listed at http://horus.roe.ac.uk/vsa/ppErrBits.html
These flags refer to quality issues of varying severity. For each
pass-band nine quality issues are implemented as follows, where the
corresponding value of the ppErrBit is given in parenthesis.
Source is deblended (16), has bad pixel(s) in default aperture (64),
has low confidence in default aperture (128), lies within detector #16
region of a tile (4096), is close to saturation (65536), has
photometric calibration probably subject to systematic errors
(131072), lies within a dither offset of the stacked frame boundary
(4194304), lies within the underexposed strip of a tile (8388606), and
lies within an underexposed region of a tile due to missing detector
(16777216). To select only sources without quality issues the user can
filter on ppErrBits=0, but note that all sources in this catalog
have at least ppErrBits=16 due to the dense stellar field, and to
include only sources with minor quality issues use ppErrBits<256.
