标题： The VMC Survey - XX. Identification of new Cepheids in the Small Magellanic Cloud

摘要： 我们展示了小麦哲伦云（SMC）中299颗造父变星的Ks波段光变曲线，其中288颗是我们的新发现，这些造父变星是利用VISTA麦哲伦云系统（VMC）巡天获得的多历元近红外测光数据识别出来的。 这些新的造父变星周期范围在0.34到9.1天之间，Ks波段星等范围为12.9至17.6等。 我们的方法是基于光学微透镜巡天OGLE先前确认的变星开发的。 我们集中于在SMC外部区域寻找新的造父变星，这些区域已有完整的VMC Ks波段观测数据，并且尚未有来自其他巡天的全面变星类型鉴定。 显示英文摘要

摘要： We present Ks -band light curves for 299 Cepheids in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) of which 288 are new discoveries that we have identified using multi-epoch near-infrared photometry obtained by the VISTA survey of the Magellanic Clouds system (VMC). The new Cepheids have periods in the range from 0.34 to 9.1 days and cover the magnitude interval 12.9 <= Ks <= 17.6 mag. Our method was developed using variable stars previously identified by the optical microlensing survey OGLE. We focus on searching new Cepheids in external regions of the SMC for which complete VMC Ks-band observations are available and no comprehensive identification of different types of variable stars from other surveys exists yet.
