Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope observations of the Magellanic clouds (1998)

Keywords : Magellanic Clouds - open clusters and associations general - stars: early-type - stars: luminosity function, mass function - ultraviolet emission

Abstract:The catalog is derived from wide-field far-ultraviolet (FUV; 1300-1800{AA}) images of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC, SMC) obtained by the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UIT) during the Astro-1 (1990 December 1-10) and Astro-2 (1995 March 2-18) missions. The FUV magnitudes are derived from point-spread function photometry for 37,333 stars in the LMC (the UIT FUV magnitudes for 11,306 stars in the SMC were presented by Cornett et al. (1997AJ....113.1011C), with a completeness limit of m_UV_ ~ 15mag and a detection limit of m_UV_ ~ 17.5. The average uncertainty in the photometry is ~ 0.1mag. ...(more)
