cds-question@unistra.frvariable-starsinfrared-photometrymagellanic-cloudssurveysA very long-term near-infrared variable star survey towards the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) was carried out using the 1.4m InfraRed Survey Facility at the South African Astronomical Observatory. This project was initiated in 2000 December in the LMC, and in 2001 July in the SMC. Since then an area of 3deg^2^ along the bar in the LMC and an area of 1deg^2^ in the central part of the SMC have been repeatedly observed. This survey is ongoing, but results obtained with data taken until 2017 December are reported in this paper. Over more than 15yr we have observed the two survey areas more than one hundred times. This is the first survey that provides near-infrared time-series data with such a long time baseline and on such a large scale. This paper describes the observations in the SMC and publishes a point source photometric catalogue, a variable source catalogue, and time-series data.2018MNRAS.481.4206Ihttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/MNRAS/481/4206CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toI/221 : The Magellanic Catalogue of Stars - MACS (Tucholke+ 1996)II/228 : DENIS Catalogue toward Magellanic Clouds (DCMC) (Cioni+ 2000)II/246 : 2MASS All-Sky Catalog of Point Sources (Cutri+ 2003)II/288 : IRSF Magellanic Clouds Point Source Catalog (Kato+ 2007)II/305 : SAGE LMC and SMC IRAC Source Catalog (IPAC 2009)II/351 : VISTA Magellanic Survey (VMC) catalog (Cioni+, 2011)I/345 : Gaia DR2 (Gaia Collaboration, 2018)J/AJ/99/784 : IR photometry of LMC long-period variables (Hughes+ 1990)J/AcA/48/147 : OGLE SMC BVI photometry (Udalski+ 1998)J/AcA/51/317 : OGLE DIA.
