Infrared composition of the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
Earth, Planets and Space, 2013 The evolution of galaxies and the history of star formation in the Universe are among the most important topics in today’s astrophysics. Especially, the role of small, irregular galaxies in the star-formation history of the Universe is not yet clear ...

Massive Hypervelocity Runaway Stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Since the hypervelocity stars were discovered in the Milky Way, various mechanisms have been proposed to explain these runaway stars. Up to now, however, the dominant ejected mechanism of hypervelocity stars is still unclear.

ALMA Observations of a Quiescent Molecular Cloud in the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
, 2017 We present high-resolution (sub-parsec) observations of a giant molecular cloud in the nearest star-forming galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud. ALMA Band 6 observations trace the bulk of the molecular gas in $^{12}$CO(2-1) and high column density regions

The Detection of Hot Cores and Complex Organic Molecules in the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
, 2018 We report the first extragalactic detection of the complex organic molecules (COMs) dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) and methyl formate (CH3OCHO) with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).

Measuring the Mass of the Large Magellanic Cloud with Stellar Streams Observed by S 5 [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2021 Stellar streams are excellent probes of the underlying gravitational potential in which they evolve. In this work, we fit dynamical models to five streams in the Southern Galactic hemisphere, combining observations from the Southern Stellar Stream ...

Kinematic Decomposition of the H i Gaseous Component in the Large Magellanic Cloud
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 We perform a profile analysis of the combined H i data cube of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) from observations with the Australia Telescope Compact Array and the Parkes radio telescope. For the profile analysis, we use a newly developed algorithm that

The EMU view of the Large Magellanic Cloud: troubles for sub-TeV WIMPs [PDF]
Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2021 We present a radio search for WIMP dark matter in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We make use of a recent deep image of the LMC obtained from observations of the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), and processed as part of the ...

Discovery of the Magellanic Stellar Stream Out to 100 kpc
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The Magellanic Stream (MS)—an enormous ribbon of gas spanning 140° of the southern sky trailing the Magellanic Clouds—has been exquisitely mapped in the five decades since its discovery.
