We present a catalog of 5324 massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), with accurate spectral types compiled from the literature, and a photometric catalog for a subset of 3654 of these stars, with the goal of exploring their infrared properties. The photometric catalog consists of stars with infrared counterparts in the Spitzer SAGE-SMC survey database, for which we present uniform photometry from 0.3to24 ЮМm in the UBVIJHKs +IRAC+MIPS24 bands. ...

Keep the size of the tarfile to a minimum by excluding files that can be recreated from files contained in the tarfile. Examples are: .o (object) files that can be recreated by compiling the program source code.dvi files produced by processing TeX and LaTeX source files.ps (postscript) files generated by drawing and publishing packages. After you have created a tarfile, you can then reduce its size by using the compress command. ... This will create a file called project.tar.Z . ...
