An X-ray-quiet black hole born with a negligible kick in a massive binary within the Large Magellanic Cloud

Nature Astronomy, 2022
Stellar-mass black holes are the final remnants of stars born with more than 15 solar masses. Billions are expected to reside in the Local Group, yet only a few are known, mostly detected through X-rays emitted as they accrete material from a companion ...

All-sky dynamical response of the Galactic halo to the Large Magellanic Cloud

Nature, 2021
Gravitational interactions between the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the stellar and dark matter halo of the Milky Way are expected to give rise to disequilibrium phenomena in the outer Milky Way1–7. A local wake is predicted to trail the orbit of the

An eclipsing-binary distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud accurate to two per cent

Nature, 2013
In the era of precision cosmology, it is essential to determine the Hubble constant to an accuracy of three per cent or better. At present, its uncertainty is dominated by the uncertainty in the distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), which, being ...

Detection of the Milky Way reflex motion due to the Large Magellanic Cloud infall

Nature Astronomy, 2020
The Large Magellanic Cloud is the most massive satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, with an estimated mass exceeding a tenth of the mass of the Milky Way1–5.

Galaxies behind the Large Magellanic Cloud

Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1990
list of 96 galaxies brighter than V = 16.5 that are seen through the LMC and that are good candidates for probing the total optical extinction within the LMC. The search also registered a total of 1501 fainter galaxies. The number detected is strongly correlated with the position, decreasing greatly toward the center of the LMC. Because of crowding and

The Large Magellanic Cloud

2002
Abstract In 1519 the Portuguese sea captain Fernão de Magalhães, whom we call Ferdinand Magellan, commanding a fleet of five small ships, sailed under the flag of Spain to circumnavigate the globe. His purpose was to expand the Spanish empire. A papal bull of 1493 had divided the New World according to a line of longitude running through
