RAM PRESSURE STRIPPING OF THE LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD’S DISK AS A PROBE OF THE MILKY WAY’S CIRCUMGALACTIC MEDIUM [PDF]
, 2015 Recent observations have constrained the orbit and structure of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), implying a well-constrained pericentric passage about the Milky Way (MW) ∼50 Myr ago.

Molecular Clouds Associated with the Type Ia SNR N103B in the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 N103B is a Type Ia supernova remnant (SNR) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We carried out new 12CO(J = 3–2) and 12CO(J = 1–0) observations using ASTE and ALMA.

THE PANCHROMATIC VIEW OF THE MAGELLANIC CLOUDS FROM CLASSICAL CEPHEIDS. I. DISTANCE, REDDENING, AND GEOMETRY OF THE LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD DISK [PDF]
, 2016 We present a detailed investigation of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) disk using classical Cepheids. Our analysis is based on optical (I, V; OGLE-IV), near-infrared (NIR: J, H, ) and mid-infrared (MIR: w1; WISE) mean magnitudes.

Rotation of the Milky Way and the formation of the Magellanic Stream [PDF]
, 2010 We studied the impact of the revisited values for the LSR circular velocity of the Milky Way (Reid et al. 2004) on the formation of the Magellanic Stream. The LSR circular velocity was varied within its observational uncertainties as a free parameter of the interaction between the Large (LMC) and the Small (SMC) Magellanic Clouds and the Galaxy.

The Detection of Hot Cores and Complex Organic Molecules in the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
, 2018 We report the first extragalactic detection of the complex organic molecules (COMs) dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) and methyl formate (CH3OCHO) with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).

The Large Magellanic Cloud and the Distance Scale [PDF]
, 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. We here review the distances derived from Cepheids, Red Variables, RR Lyraes, Red Clump Stars and Eclipsing Binaries, and show that the results from these ...

A 10 kpc stellar substructure at the edge of the Large Magellanic Cloud: Perturbed outer disc or evidence for tidal stripping? [PDF]
, 2015 We report the discovery of a substantial stellar overdensity in the periphery of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), found using public imaging from the first year of the Dark Energy Survey.

The exceptionally powerful TeV γ-ray emitters in the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
Science, 2015 A light on the origin of cosmic rays There's a new lab for studying the origins of cosmic rays: our neighbor galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud. Astronomers are now making progress on this topic by examining the gamma rays that are produced when cosmic ...
