Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2014 A thorough study of the correlation between P1=P0 ratio, fundamental period, and chemical composition (abundances of metals that compose Z) was conducted to investigate the significance of the iron-peak elements on the ratio. The results suggested a more

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The nature of molecular clouds and their statistical behavior in subsolar metallicity environments are not fully explored yet. We analyzed data from an unbiased CO ( J = 2–1) survey at the spatial resolution of ∼2 pc in the northern region of the Small ...

Detached Binaries in the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
Highlights of Astronomy, 2004 Analysis of the radial-velocity and light curves of detached eclipsing binaries allows to derive stellar masses and radii and, in consequence, enables to find their distances. The method has been already applied to several LMC binaries, but in order to have the distance to the LMC determined with good accuracy, the parameters need to be known for a ...

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

The Large Magellanic Cloud with the Cherenkov Telescope Array [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2019 The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is a spiral galaxy, satellite of the Milky way with a high star formation activity. It represents a unique laboratory for studying an extended and spatially resolved star-forming galaxy through gamma-ray observatories ...

CO in the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1984 In our galaxy molecular clouds account for about half the total interstellar gas and are probably the sites of all star formation. The high gas content and widespread star formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud would therefore suggest a high molecular content. Very little however is actually known about molecules in the LMC.

Massive Hypervelocity Runaway Stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Since the hypervelocity stars were discovered in the Milky Way, various mechanisms have been proposed to explain these runaway stars. Up to now, however, the dominant ejected mechanism of hypervelocity stars is still unclear.

Chemical Composition of RM_1-390 - Large Magellanic Cloud Red Supergiant [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2017 A high resolution spectroscopic observation of the red supergiant star RM_1-390 in the Large Magellanic Cloud was made from a 3.6 m telescope at the European Southern Observatory. Spectral resolving power was R=20,000, with a signal-to-noise ratio S/N >

Optical spectra of radio planetary nebulae in the large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2008 We present 11 spectra from 12 candidate radio sources co-identified with known planetary nebulae (PNe) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Originally found in Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) LMC surveys at 1.4, 4.8 and 8.64 GHz and confirmed by

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Accurate distance determination to astrophysical objects is essential for the understanding of their intrinsic brightness and size. The distance to SN 1987A has been previously measured by the expanding photosphere method and by using the angular size of
