This directory contains the fourth part of the OGLE-III Catalog of Variable
Stars - long-period variables in the Large Magellanic Cloud.
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
LSP means Long Secondary Period (sequence D)
ECL/ELL means eclipsing or ellispoidal variations
(sequence E)
RCB means R Coronae Borealis star
DoPhot - the DoPhot photometry only
pap.ps.gz - postscript version of the paper Soszynski et al. (2009),
Acta Astron. 59, 239, 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 Cepheids from the LMC should include the appropriate
reference(s) to OGLE paper(s).
