Is the Large Magellanic Cloud a Large Microlensing Cloud? [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1999 An expression is provided for the self-lensing optical depth of the thin LMC disk surrounded by a shroud of stars at larger scale heights. The formula is written in terms of the vertical velocity dispersion of the thin disk population.

Hypervelocity runaways from the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017 We explore the possibility that the observed population of Galactic hypervelocity stars (HVSs) originate as runaway stars from the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).

The Large Magellanic Cloud and the Distance Scale [PDF]
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2011 The Magellanic Clouds, especially the Large Magellanic Cloud, are places where multiple distance indicators can be compared with each other in a straight-forward manner at considerable precision.

Cosmic Ray Accelerators in the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 I point out a correlation between gamma-ray emissivity and the historical star formation rate in the Large Magellanic Cloud ~12.5 Myr ago. This correlation bolsters the view that CRs in the LMC are accelerated by conglomerations of supernova remnants: i ...

Dark Matter Annihilations in the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 1993 The flat rotation curve obtained for the outer star clusters of the Large Magellanic Cloud is suggestive of an LMC dark matter halo. From the composite HI and star cluster rotation curve, I estimate the parameters of an isothermal dark matter halo added ...

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‐

Extinction in the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2007 We present an extinction map of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), using 204,502 stars from the Two Micron All Sky Survey point source catalog. We first use the NICE method to determine the reddening distribution, \ehk and \ejh, which we compare to the HI distribution to find a near-infrared reddening law of $\ejh/\ehk=1.20\pm 0.04$. A visual extinction

A distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud that is precise to one per cent [PDF]
Nature, 2019 In the era of precision cosmology, it is essential to determine the Hubble constant empirically with an accuracy of one per cent or better1. At present, the uncertainty on this constant is dominated by the uncertainty in the calibration of the Cepheid ...

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

A Census of the Most Luminous Stars. I. The Upper HR Diagram for the Large Magellanic Cloud
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Spectral classification and multiwavelength photometry for the most luminous stars in the LMC has greatly increased due to several recent surveys for both the hottest and coolest members.
