Description This catalogue provides PSF photometry in addition to the aperture photometry in three bands Y, J and Ks, which has been made available in the VISTA Magellanic Survey YJKs Catalogue. The catalogue refers to deep tile images for VMC tiles completed by October 2012. It contains 12.7 million sources and covers an area of 7.5 sq. degrees in the LMC and 3.5 sq. degrees in the SMC.
