Abstract:
We present our catalog of U, B, V, and I stellar photometry of the
central 64deg^2^ area of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Internal and
external astrometric and photometric tests using existing optical
photometry (U, B, and V from Massey's bright star catalog (Cat.
II/236) and I from the near-infrared sky survey DENIS) are used to
confirm our observational uncertainty estimates. We fit stellar
atmosphere models to the optical data to check the consistency of the
photometry for individual stars across the passbands and to estimate
the line-of-sight extinction. Finally, we use the estimated
line-of-sight extinctions to produce an extinction map across the
Large Magellanic Cloud, confirm the variation of extinction as a
function of stellar population, and produce a simple geometric model
for the extinction as a function of stellar population.
