This directory contains the fifteenth part of the OGLE-III Catalog of
Variable Stars - long-period variables in the Galactic bulge.

The directory structure is as follows:

README            - this file

ident.dat         - identification of stars

Miras.dat         - parameters of Mira stars
SRVs.dat          - parameters of Semiregular Variables (SRVs)
OSARGs.dat        - parameters of OGLE Small Amplitude Red Giants (OSARGs)

phot/I/           - I-band photometry of individual objects
phot/V/           - V-band photometry of individual objects
phot.tar.gz       - gzipped phot/ directory

fcharts/          - finding charts of individual objects

remarks.txt       - remarks on selected objects
		    ECL/ELL means eclipsing or ellispoidal variations

pap.pdf           - PDF version of the paper Soszynski et al. (2013),
                    Acta Astron. 63, 21, describing the catalog.

Finding charts are gzipped Postscript images. The names of the files are in
the form: ID.ps.gz. The finding charts are 60"x60" subframes of the I-band
reference frames centered on the stars. White cross marks the star. North
is up and East to the left.


Any presentation of the scientific analysis or usage of the data from
the Catalog of LPVs in the Galactic bulge should include the appropriate
reference(s) to OGLE paper(s).
