QSO-candidates in OGLE-II Galactic bulge fields

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present 97 QSO candidates in 48 Galactic bulge fields of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment II (OGLE-II) covering ~11deg^2^, which are selected via their variability.

Description

We extend light curves of variable objects which were detected in a 3-yr baseline in the OGLE-II variable star catalogue to fourth year. We search for objects that are faint (16<I_0_<18.5) and slowly variable over 4-yr in this catalogue by using the variogram/structure function.

Finding the QSOs in such stellar-crowded and high extinction fields is challenging, but should be useful for the astrometric reference frame. Spectroscopic follow-up observations are required to confirm these QSO candidates. Follow-up observations are being prepared for four of these fields (BUL_SC1, 2, 32 and 45).

Follow-up observations for other fields are strongly encouraged. The complete list and light curves of all 97 candidates are available in electronic format at astro.princeton.edu/sumi/QSO-OGLEII/ .
