摘要:

Vista麦哲伦云(VMC,PI M.R. Cioni)调查正在收集由两个麦哲伦云(MC)和连接它们的“桥梁”形成的系统的$K_S$波段时间序列测光。这些数据被用来建立MC RR型天琴座恒星和经典造父变星的$K_S$波段光变曲线,并利用$K_S$波段周期光度($PLK_S$)、周期-光度-颜色($PLC$)和适用于这些类型变星的Wesenhiet关系确定整个系统的绝对距离和三维几何。作为调查潜力的一个例子,我们提出的结果,从VMC观测的两个领域分别集中在南极和30剑鱼座恒星形成区的大麦云。在这两个区域中,天琴座RR型星的VMC $K_S$波段光变曲线具有非常好的光度质量,单个数据点的典型误差在$\sim$ 0.02 ~ 0.05等之间。造父变星具有极好的光变曲线(典型误差为$\sim$ 0.01等)。这两种类型的变量的平均$K_S$幅度推导出的$PLK_S$关系,在一般良好的协议与文献数据的误差内,并显示比以前的研究更小的分散。

英文摘要:

The Vista Magellanic Cloud (VMC, PI M.R. Cioni) survey is collecting $K_S$-band time series photometry of the system formed by the two Magellanic Clouds (MC) and the "bridge" that connects them. These data are used to build $K_S$-band light curves of the MC RR Lyrae stars and Classical Cepheids and determine absolute distances and the 3D geometry of the whole system using the $K$-band period luminosity ($PLK_S$), the period - luminosity - color ($PLC$) and the Wesenhiet relations applicable to these types of variables. As an example of the survey potential we present results from the VMC observations of two fields centered respectively on the South Ecliptic Pole and the 30 Doradus star forming region of the Large Magellanic Cloud. The VMC $K_S$-band light curves of the RR Lyrae stars in these two regions have very good photometric quality with typical errors for the individual data points in the range of $\sim$ 0.02 to 0.05 mag. The Cepheids have excellent light curves (typical errors of $\sim$ 0.01 mag). The average $K_S$ magnitudes derived for both types of variables were used to derive $PLK_S$ relations that are in general good agreement within the errors with the literature data, and show a smaller scatter than previous studies.
