Dear Taichi Kato

The following URLs are what you want :-

ftp://astro.princeton.edu/ogle/ogle1/

and

ftp://astro.princeton.edu/ogle/ogle2/var_stars/

NOW, for OGLE1 you have a choice of following the var_catalog subdirectory,
then the bwn subdirectories [where I think bw denotes Baade's Window and n
is a number from 1 to 8 or c], and then the separate tarred catalogues for
eclipsers and pulsators etc in each one of these, or

you can download the file var_catalog.tar which contains everything [I
think], but is a massive 66 Mb long!!!!

I looked at this a few months back, and with one thing and another, I
decided I couldn't justify the online telephone costs of trying to sort
this lot out!

For OGLE2 you'll find lmc and smc subdirectories, naturally enough, with
further subdirectories after that.

Best of luck!

Cheers

John

Dear Taichi Kato

re previous email: Sorry, I may have got ogle and macho collaboration
muddled again...

...most macho home page links, even the ones at their own website, seem to
hit a dead end, with the dreaded error 404 being rather prominent...

cheers
