cds-question@unistra.frmagellanic-cloudsstellar-associationsinfrared-photometryThe (rest-frame) near-IR domain contains important stellar population diagnostics and is often used to estimate masses of galaxies at low, as well as high, redshifts. However, many stellar population models are still relatively poorly calibrated in this part of the spectrum. To allow an improvement of this calibration we present a new database of integrated nearIR JHKs magnitudes for 75 star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds, using the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS). The majority of the clusters in our sample have robust age and metallicity estimates from color-magnitude diagrams available in the literature, and populate a range of ages from 10Myr to 15Gyr and a range in [Fe/H] from -2.17 to +0.01dex. A comparison with matched star clusters in the 2MASS Extended Source Catalog (XSC) reveals that the XSC only provides a good fit to the unresolved component of the cluster stellar population. We also compare our results with the often-cited single-channel JHK photometry of Persson and coworkers (1983ApJ...266..105P).2006AJ....132..781Phttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/AJ/132/781CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toII/246 : 2MASS All-Sky Catalog of Point Sources (Cutri+ 2003)J/AJ/122/1844 : MSX and 2MASS cross-correlation in LMC (Egan+, 2001)J/AJ/123/855 : Magellanic Clouds Photometric Survey: the SMC (Zaritsky+ 2002)J/AJ/128/1606 : Magellanic Clouds Photometric Survey: the LMC (Zaritsky+ 2004)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/132/781https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/132/781http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/132/781https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/132/781https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/132/781http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/132/781GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/AJ/132/781/table12 (SMC and LMC cluster sample)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/132/781/table12?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/132/781/table12?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/132/781/table12?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true6.70417-71.536110.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/AJ/132/781/table4 (Photometry of MC clusters)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/132/781/table4?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/132/781/table4?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/132/781/table4?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true0.98-73.4701110.0055555555555555566/32790 32958 32983 33035 33042 33045 33047 33053 33073 33075 33077 33078 33080 33088 33093 33094 33096 33097 33098 33104 33105 33109 33111 33112 33113 33117 33120 33121 33123 33124 33125 33127 33137 33138 33140 33287 33304 33306 33307 33315 33316 33317 33320 33323 33328 33793 37386 37408 37410 37504 37506 37513 37514 37516 37537 37538 37550 38913 38914 38922 389548.650015785639275e-20 1.7003137259100215e-19https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/AJ/132/781?format=asciiInfrareddefaultJ/AJ/132/781/table12SMC and LMC cluster samplerecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
