Observation of a neutrino burst in coincidence with supernova 1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud.
Physical Review Letters, 1987 A burst of eight neutrino events preceding the optical detection of the supernova in the Large Magellanic cloud has been observed in a large underground water Cherenkov detector. The events span an interval of six seconds and have visible energies in the

The Wolf-Rayet binaries of the nitrogen sequence in the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2019 Context. Massive Wolf–Rayet (WR) stars dominate the radiative and mechanical energy budget of galaxies and probe a critical phase in the evolution of massive stars prior to core collapse.

The influence of Sagittarius and the Large Magellanic Cloud on the stellar disc of the Milky Way Galaxy [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017 We present N-body simulations of a Sagittarius-like dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Sgr) that follow its orbit about the Milky Way (MW) since its first crossing of the Galaxy's virial radius to the present day.

The Parkes HI Survey of the Magellanic System [PDF]
Astron.Astrophys.432:45-67,2005, 2004 We present the first fully and uniformly sampled, spatially complete HI survey of the entire Magellanic System with high velocity resolution, performed with the Parkes Telescope. The final data-cubes have an rms noise of sigma ~ 0.05 K and an effective angular resolution of 16 arcmin. The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC)

A detection of H$_2$ in a high velocity cloud toward the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
, 2022 This work presents a new detection of H$_2$ absorption arising in a high velocity cloud (HVC) associated with either the Milky Way or the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The absorber was found in an archival Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer spectrum of the LMC star Sk-70$^\circ$32.

Internal dynamics of the Large Magellanic Cloud from Gaia DR2 [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2018 We use the proper motions (PM) of half a million red giant stars in Large Magellanic Cloud measured by Gaia to construct a 2d kinematic map of mean PM and its dispersion across the galaxy, out to 7 Kpc from its centre.

An ALMA View of Molecular Filaments in the Large Magellanic Cloud. II. An Early Stage of High-mass Star Formation Embedded at Colliding Clouds in N159W-South [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 We have conducted ALMA CO isotopes and 1.3 mm continuum observations toward filamentary molecular clouds of the N159W-South region in the Large Magellanic Cloud with an angular resolution of ∼0.″25 (∼0.07 pc). Although the previous lower-resolution (∼1″)

A search for star clusters in the outskirts of the Large Magellanic Cloud: indication of clusters in the age gap [PDF]
, 2020 The YMCA (Yes, Magellanic Clouds Again) and STEP ({The SMC in Time: Evolution of a Prototype interacting late-type dwarf galaxy) projects are deep g,i photometric surveys carried out with the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) and devoted to study the outskirts of the Magellanic System. A main goal of YMCA and STEP is to identify candidate stellar clusters and

Binarity among Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]
MNRAS 426, 3148-3153 (2012), 2012 Spectroscopic binarity of the Cepheid variable HV914 in the Large Magellanic Cloud is pointed out from the published radial velocity observational data. The list of known binaries among Cepheid type variable stars in the Magellanic Clouds is published in tabular form.
