Ks light curve of 299 SMC new Cepheids

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present K_s_-band light curves for 299 Cepheids in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) of which 288 are new discoveries that we have identified using multi-epoch near-infrared photometry obtained by the VISTA survey of the Magellanic Clouds system (VMC).

Description

The new Cepheids have periods in the range from 0.34 to 9.1d and cover the magnitude interval 12.9<=<K_s_><=17.6mag. Our method was developed using variable stars previously identified by the optical microlensing survey OGLE.

We focus on searching new Cepheids in external regions of the SMC for which complete VMC K_s_-band observations are available and no comprehensive identification of different types of variable stars from other surveys exists yet.
