Abstract

We compile a near-infrared photometric and polarimetric catalog for the $5{\times}9$ fields (${\sim}39^{\prime}{\times}69^{\prime}$) in the eastern side of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The photometric and the polarimetric data were obtained in J, H, and Ks bands using JHKs-simultaneous imaging polarimeter SIRPOL of the InfraRed Survey Facility (IRSF) in 2008 December and 2011 December. We estimate quality of the data using the method and the result from the IRSF Magellanic Clouds point source catalog which was published on 2007 June. In this poster, we present configuration of the catalog and the results of the verification.
