Abstract:The Magellanic System (MS) encompasses the nearest neighbors of the Milky Way, the Large (LMC) and Small (SMC) Magellanic Clouds, and the Magellanic Bridge (MBR). This system contains a diverse sample of star clusters. Their parameters, such as the spatial distribution, chemical composition and age distribution yield important information about the formation scenario of the whole Magellanic System. Using deep photometric maps compiled in the fourth phase of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE-IV) we present the most complete catalog of star clusters in the Magellanic System ever constructed from homogeneous, long time-scale photometric data. In this second paper of the series, we show the collection of star ...(more)
Abstract: (hide)
The photometric data of the SMC and MBR fields analyzed in this paper are based on the images gathered during the first five years (2010-2015) of the fourth phase of the OGLE project (Udalski, Szymanski and Szymanski 2015AcA....65....1U)
