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 ...

The Phanerozoic climate. [PDF]
Ann N Y Acad Sci, 2023 We review the long‐term climate variations during the last 540 million years (Phanerozoic Eon). We first summarize the geological and geochemical datasets available for reconstruction of long‐term climate variations. We then explore the main drivers of climate that appear to explain a large fraction of these climatic oscillations. The first is the long‐

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

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.

Light Curve Analyses of the Eclipsing Binary EROS 1010 in the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2009 We present BV light curves of EROS 1010 which is located in the central bar of the Large Magellanic Cloud. The BV light curves including BR and I light curves observed by the EROS and OGLE projects, have been analyzed using the 2005 version of the Wilson

Magellanic Clouds Cepheids: Thorium Abundances [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2018 The analysis of the high-resolution spectra of 31 Magellanic Clouds Cepheid variables enabled the identification of thorium lines. The abundances of thorium were found with spectrum synthesis method. The calculated thorium abundances exhibit correlations

Microlensing towards the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2002 The nature and the location of the lenses discovered in the microlensing surveys done so far towards the LMC remain unclear. Motivated by these questions we compute the optical depth and particularly the number of expected events for self-lensing for both the MACHO and EROS2 observations.

CCD imagers for the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite from benchtop to space environment
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 8-9, October-November 2023., 2023 Abstract The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is a Massachusetts Institute of Technology‐led NASA Explorer‐class mission planned to spend 2 years discovering transiting exoplanets by an all‐sky survey. The observatory contains four wide field‐of‐view camera systems for a total of 16.8 Megapixel, low‐noise, low‐power CCD detectors.

EMBEDDED CLUSTERS IN THE LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD USING THE VISTA MAGELLANIC CLOUDS SURVEY* [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACT We present initial results of the first large-scale survey of embedded star clusters in molecular clouds in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using near-infrared imaging from the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy Magellanic Clouds Survey.
