This directory contains OGLE-III maps of 116 Large Magellanic Cloud fields (LMC100-LMC215) observed during the OGLE-III phase of the OGLE survey. REMARK: This a NEW DATASET (Aug 20, 2012), corrected in V and V-I for calibration inaccuracy of very red objects (V-I>1.5) due to non-standard OGLE-III I-band filter passband, using data from OGLE-IV camera, as described in the paper by Szymanski et al. (2011), Acta Astron. 61, 83, section 3.2 The directory structure is as follows: README - this file fields.txt - equatorial coordinates and number of objects found in the OGLE-III LMC fields. pap.ps.gz - Postscript version of the paper Udalski et al (2008), Acta Astron. 58, 89, describing the maps. pap.pdf - PDF version of this paper maps/ - subdirectory with compressed map files (928 files) lmc100.1.map.bz2 - data for subfield LMC100.1 lmc100.2.map.bz2 - data for subfield LMC100.2 lmc100.3.map.bz2 - data for subfield LMC100.3 lmc100.4.map.bz2 - data for subfield LMC100.4 lmc100.5.map.bz2 - data for subfield LMC100.5 lmc100.6.map.bz2 - data for subfield LMC100.6 lmc100.7.map.bz2 - data for subfield LMC100.7 lmc100.8.map.bz2 - data for subfield LMC100.8 lmc101.1.map.bz2 - data for subfield LMC101.1 lmc101.2.map.bz2 - data for subfield LMC101.2 ... lmc215.1.map.bz2 - data for subfield LMC215.1 lmc215.2.map.bz2 - data for subfield LMC215.2 lmc215.3.map.bz2 - data for subfield LMC215.3 lmc215.4.map.bz2 - data for subfield LMC215.4 lmc215.5.map.bz2 - data for subfield LMC215.5 lmc215.6.map.bz2 - data for subfield LMC215.6 lmc215.7.map.bz2 - data for subfield LMC215.7 lmc215.8.map.bz2 - data for subfield LMC215.8 ref_images/ - subdirectory with compressed I-band reference images (928 FITS files, 2180x4176 pixels) lmc100.i.1.fts.bz2 - I-band reference image of the subfield LMC100.1 lmc100.i.2.fts.bz2 - I-band reference image of the subfield LMC100.2 lmc100.i.3.fts.bz2 - I-band reference image of the subfield LMC100.3 lmc100.i.4.fts.bz2 - I-band reference image of the subfield LMC100.4 lmc100.i.5.fts.bz2 - I-band reference image of the subfield LMC100.5 lmc100.i.6.fts.bz2 - I-band reference image of the subfield LMC100.6 lmc100.i.7.fts.bz2 - I-band reference image of the subfield LMC100.7 lmc100.i.8.fts.bz2 - I-band reference image of the subfield LMC100.8 lmc101.i.1.fts.bz2 - I-band reference image of the subfield LMC101.1 lmc101.i.2.fts.bz2 - I-band reference image of the subfield LMC101.2 ... lmc215.i.1.fts.bz2 - I-band reference image of the subfield LMC215.1 lmc215.i.2.fts.bz2 - I-band reference image of the subfield LMC215.2 lmc215.i.3.fts.bz2 - I-band reference image of the subfield LMC215.3 lmc215.i.4.fts.bz2 - I-band reference image of the subfield LMC215.4 lmc215.i.5.fts.bz2 - I-band reference image of the subfield LMC215.5 lmc215.i.6.fts.bz2 - I-band reference image of the subfield LMC215.6 lmc215.i.7.fts.bz2 - I-band reference image of the subfield LMC215.7 lmc215.i.8.fts.bz2 - I-band reference image of the subfield LMC215.8 All *.bz2 files are compressed with the bzip2 utility.

"Magic" numbers: 99.999 for magnitude and 9.999 for color and standard deviation denote "no measurement". -1 in the N_b V-band column indicates that the V-band counterpart of an object was found in more than one subfield and the photometry was merged. !!!
