Please reference this article if you make use of these data. In addition to this ReadMe file, the tar file consists of 1 ascii data file. The data file contains the PLANET collaboration light curve for the SMC microlensing event MACHO 98-SMC-1, and is arranged as follows: col1 timestamp JD - 2450000.0 col2 site Observing site where data were taken C = CTIO (CTIO 0.9m) Y = Yale/CTIO (Yale 1.0m) S = Sutherland (SAAO 1m) T = Tasmania (Canopus Observatory 1.0m) col3 I magnitude Observed Cousins I (calibrated with OGLE data) col4 error Uncertainty in magnitudes For more information about this event, refer to the PLANET article above. ********************************************************************************
