Photometric Maps Based on the OGLE-III Shallow Survey in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Understand

We present photometric maps based on data from the shallow survey in the Large Magellanic Cloud performed as the supplementary project during the third phase of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment.

• They cover about 40 square degrees in the LMC and contain mean calibrated VI photometry and astrometry of about 1.7 million stars.
• The magnitudes of the registered objects range from 9.1 to 18.5.
• We discuss the quality of data and present color--magnitude diagrams of selected fields.
