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.

Radio Continuum Study of the Large Magellanic Cloud - SNR J0519-6926 [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2008 We present the results of new high resolution ATCA observations of SNR J0519-6926. We found that this SNR exhibits a typical "horseshoe" appearance with $alpha$=--0.55$pm$0.08 and D=28$pm1$~pc.

Infrared composition of the Large Magellanic Cloud
Earth, Planets and Space, 2013 The evolution of galaxies and the history of star formation in the Universe are among the most important topics in today’s astrophysics. Especially, the role of small, irregular galaxies in the star-formation history of the Universe is not yet clear ...

The MACHO Project Large Magellanic Cloud Microlensing Results from the First Two Years and the Nature of the Galactic Dark Halo [PDF]
, 1996 The MACHO Project is a search for dark matter in the form of massive compact halo objects (MACHOs). Photometric monitoring of millions of stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), and Galactic bulge is used to search for ...

The Large Magellanic Cloud’s ∼30 kpc Bow Shock and Its Impact on the Circumgalactic Medium
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 The interaction between the supersonic motion of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the circumgalactic medium (CGM) is expected to result in a bow shock that leads the LMC’s gaseous disk.

Relations between Molecular Cloud Structure Sizes and Line Widths in the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 We present a comparative study of the size–line width relation for substructures within six molecular clouds in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) mapped with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array.

Distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud: The RR Lyrae Stars [PDF]
, 2000 New photometry and spectroscopy for more than a hundred RR Lyrae stars in two fields located close to the bar of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are used to derive new accurate estimates of the average magnitude, the local reddening, the luminosity ...

An ALMA View of Molecular Filaments in the Large Magellanic Cloud. I. The Formation of High-mass Stars and Pillars in the N159E-Papillon Nebula Triggered by a Cloud–Cloud Collision [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 We present ALMA observations of CO isotopes and 1.3 mm continuum emission toward the N159E-Papillon Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The spatial resolution is 0.″25–0.″28 (0.06–0.07 pc), which is a factor of 3 higher than previous ALMA ...

The Diffuse Ionized Gas Halo of the Large Magellanic Cloud
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) has an extensive H α emission halo that traces an extended, warm ionized component of its interstellar medium. Using the Wisconsin H α Mapper telescope, we present the first kinematic H α survey of an extensive region ...

Statistical Analysis of Supernova Remnants in the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
, 2017 We construct the most complete sample of supernova remnants (SNRs) in any galaxy—the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) SNR sample. We study their various properties such as spectral index (α), size, and surface brightness.
