Abstract:
The VISTA near-infrared Y, J, Ks survey of the Magellanic System (VMC)
survey is obtaining multi-epoch photometry in the Ks band of the
Magellanic System down to a limiting magnitude of Ks 19.3 for
individual epoch data. The observations are spaced in time such as to
provide optimal sampling of the light curves for RR Lyrae stars and
for Cepheids with periods up to 20-30d. We present examples of the
Ks-band light curves of Classical Cepheids and RR Lyrae stars we are
obtaining from the VMC data and outline the strategy we put in place
to measure distances and infer the System three-dimensional geometry
from the variable stars. For this purpose, the near-infrared
Period-Luminosity, Period-Wesenheit and Period-Luminosity-Colour
relations of the system RR Lyrae stars and Cepheids are used. We
extensively exploit the catalogues of the Magellanic Clouds' variable
stars provided by the EROS-2 and OGLE III/IV microlensing surveys. By
combining these surveys, we present the currently widest-area view of
the Large Magellanic Cloud as captured by the galaxy Cepheids, RR
Lyrae stars and binaries. This reveals the full extent of the main
structures (bar/s - spiral arms) that have only been vaguely guessed
before. Our work strengthens the case for a detailed study of the
Large Magellanic Cloud three-dimensional geometry.
Description:
Full 12-epoch time series were obtained for 19 VMC tiles, as of 2013
July: 10 in the LMC, four in the SMC, three in the Bridge and two in
the Stream.
