THE MAGELLANIC MOPRA ASSESSMENT (MAGMA). I. THE MOLECULAR CLOUD POPULATION OF THE LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2011
We present the properties of an extensive sample of molecular clouds in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) mapped at 11 pc resolution in the CO(1-0) line. We identify clouds as regions of connected CO emission, and find that the distributions of cloud sizes, fluxes and masses are sensitive to the choice of decomposition parameters. In all cases, however,

Lactea: Web‐Based Spectrum‐Preserving Multi‐Resolution Visualization of the GAIA Star Catalog

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, Volume 44, Issue 3, June 2025.
Abstract The explosion of data in astronomy has resulted in an era of unprecedented opportunities for discovery. The GAIA mission's catalog, containing a large number of light sources (mostly stars) with several parameters such as sky position and proper motion, is playing a significant role in advancing astronomy research and has been crucial in ...

XMM‐Newton Observations of the Peculiar Be X‐Ray Binary A0538‐66

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT A0538‐66 is a neutron star/Be x‐ray binary located in the Large Magellanic Cloud and, since its discovery in the 70s, it showed a peculiar behavior that makes it a unique object in the high‐mass x‐ray binaries scene: the extremely eccentric orbit (e=0.72$$ e=0.72 $$), the short spin period of the neutron star (P=69$$ P=69 $$ ms), the episodes ...

Molecular Cloud Structure in the Magellanic Clouds: Effect of Metallicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The chemical structure of neutral clouds in low metallicity environments is examined with particular emphasis on the H to H_2 and C+ to CO transitions.

Beyond Accretion Limits: The Rise of Pulsating Gems

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT The discovery of several ultraluminous X‐ray sources exhibiting fast and rapidly evolving X‐ray pulsations unequivocally associates these sources with accreting neutron stars orbiting relatively massive companion stars (> 8M ⊙$$ {}_{\odot } $$).

Five Massive Contact Binaries with Twin Components in LMC

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Massive contact binaries refer to the close binary systems in which the components have filled their respective Roche lobes and share a common envelope with early-type spectra.
