| Description | Surveys of the resolved stellar content of entire galaxies are the natural tool to study fast evolutionary phases of massive stars. Therefore we launched the Magellanic Clouds Massive Stars and Feedback Survey (MCSF) and periodically imaged for 3 years the entire Small and Large Magellanic Cloud in u, B, V, R, I and Hα, [Oiii], [Sii] using the twin telescope RoBoTT at the University Observatory of the Ruhr-University Bochum at Cerro Armazones, Chile. Observations with short exposure times are included to ensure brightest stars not to be saturated, yielding a full coverage in luminosity. With this unique dataset we can study the massive stellar populations up to $M_{B}$ ∼ −10 mag and their feedback. Upon completion a high quality photometric and spatially complete catalog of the Magellanic Clouds will be established which is be comparable (or even beyond) the quality of HST based photometry of nearby galaxies. |
