LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD NEAR-INFRARED SYNOPTIC SURVEY. I. CEPHEID VARIABLES AND THE CALIBRATION OF THE LEAVITT LAW

We present observational details and first results of a near-infrared (JHKs) synoptic survey of the central region of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using the CPAPIR camera at the CTIO 1.5 m telescope. We covered 18 square degrees to a depth of K sub(s)~16.5 mag and obtained an average of 16 epoch...
