Description |
This catalogue data release refers to known classical Cepheid stars in VMC tiles completed by end of Octobr 2012 (Ripepi et al. 2012). These are tiles LMC 6_6 (including the 30 Doradus star forming region) and LMC 8_8 (including the South Ecliptic Pole region). The total sky coverage of this release is <3.5 deg^2 in the LMC.
