Were All Massive Stars Born in OB Associations and Clusters? [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2007
It has been commonly conjectured that all massive >10 Msun stars are born in OB associations or clusters. Many O and B stars in the Galaxy or the Magellanic Clouds appear to exist in isolation, however. While some of these field OB stars have been ejected from their birthplaces, some are too far away from massive star forming regions to be runaways ...

A Census of Dwarf Galaxy Satellites around LMC-mass Galaxy NGC 2403

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present the first comprehensive census of the satellite population around a Large Magellanic Cloud stellar-mass galaxy, as part of the Magellanic Analog Dwarf Companions and Stellar Halos (MADCASH) survey. We have surveyed NGC 2403 ( D = 3.0 Mpc) with

The Metallicities of Five Small High-velocity Clouds

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
High-velocity clouds (HVCs) are multiphase gas structures whose velocities (∣ v _LSR ∣ ≥ 100 km s ^−1 ) are too high to be explained by Galactic disk rotation.

The Distant Milky Way Halo from the Southern Hemisphere: Characterization of the LMC-induced Dynamical Friction Wake

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The infall of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) into the Milky Way’s halo impacts the distribution of stars and dark matter (DM) in our Galaxy. Mapping the observational consequences of this encounter can inform us about the properties of both galaxies ...
