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 184deg^2^ 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.
