New Imaging Data for the VISTA Magellanic Clouds Survey Released
Published: 08 Oct 2014
New data products resulting from the VISTA Survey of the Magellanic system (VMC) are now available via the dedicated Phase 3 query interface. The current release is based on the observations of five new VMC survey tiles (three in the LMC and two in the SMC), as well as on improved reduction of two tiles released earlier on.
Observations are taken in three filters: Y, J and Ks for a total sky coverage of ~7.5 deg2 in the LMC and ~3 deg2 in the SMC.
179 reduced and calibrated tile images belonging to individual observations are provided together to the corresponding pawprints and deep co-added images. Weight maps and associated single band source lists are also provided.
