We analyze two years (mid-2010 to mid-2012) of OGLE-IV data covering ~65 deg^2 of the Magellanic Bridge (the area between the Magellanic Clouds) and find 130 transient events including 126 supernovae (SNe), two foreground dwarf novae and another two SNe-like transients that turned out to be active galactic nuclei (AGNs). We show our SNe detection efficiency as a function of SN peak magnitude based on available SNe rate estimates. It is 100% for SNe peak magnitudes I<18.8 mag and drops to 50% at I=~19.7 mag. With our current observing area between and around the Magellanic Clouds (~600 deg^2), we expect to find 24 SNe peaking above I<18 mag, 100 above I<19 mag, and 340 above I<20 mag, annually. We briefly introduce our on-line near-real-time detection system for SNe and other transients, the OGLE Transient Detection System.
We present a detailed analysis of Magellanic Bridge Cepheid sample constructed using the OGLE Collection of Variable Stars. Our updated Bridge sample contains 10 classical and 13 anomalous Cepheids. We calculate their individual distances using optic
In this fourth part of the series presenting the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) microlensing studies of the dark matter halo compact objects (MACHOs) we describe results of the OGLE-III monitoring of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC).
The Magellanic System (MS) encompasses the nearest neighbors of the Milky Way, the Large (LMC) and Small (SMC) Magellanic Clouds, and the Magellanic Bridge (MBR). This system contains a diverse sample of star clusters. Their parameters, such as the s
In the present study, we examine reddening distribution across the LMC and SMC through largest data on Classical Cepheids provided by the OGLE Phase IV survey. The V and I band photometric data of 2476 fundamental mode (FU) and 1775 first overtone mo
We analyzed a sample of 9418 fundamental-mode and first-overtone Classical Cepheids from the OGLE-IV Collection of Classical Cepheids. The distance to each Cepheid was calculated using the period-luminosity relation for the Wesenheit magnitude, fitte
