A LUMINOUS GAMMA-RAY BINARY IN THE LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD [PDF]
, 2016 Gamma-ray binaries consist of a neutron star or a black hole interacting with a normal star to produce gamma-ray emission that dominates the radiative output of the system.

The Magellanic Clouds, Past, Present and Future - A Summary of IAU Symposium No. 190 [PDF]
arXiv, 1998 Important problems to which we would like to find answers are: What are the distances to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC)? What is the present distribution of stars, gas and dark matter in the Clouds, and how did it evolve?

Deep view of the Large Magellanic Cloud with six years of Fermi -LAT observations [PDF]
, 2015 The nearby Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) provides a rare opportunity of a spatially resolved view of an external star-forming galaxy in gamma-rays. The LMC was detected at 0.1-100GeV as an extended source with CGRO/EGRET and using early observations with ...

Morphology of stellar populations in the Magellanic Clouds using the VMC survey [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 The Magellanic Clouds are nearby dwarf irregular galaxies that represent a unique laboratory for studying galaxy interactions. Their morphology and dynamics have been heavily influenced by their mutual interactions as well as with their interaction(s) with the Milky Way.

Modeling lithium rich carbon stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud: an independent distance indicator ? [PDF]
, 1999 We present the first quantitative results explaining the presence in the Large Magellanic Cloud of some asymptotic giant branch stars that share the properties of lithium rich carbon stars. A self-consistent description of time-dependent mixing, overshooting, and nuclear burning was required.

Star-formation history and X-ray binary populations: the case of the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
, 2016 In the present work we investigate the link between high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) and star formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), our nearest star-forming galaxy.

The MAGellanic Inter-Cloud project (MAGIC) I: Evidence for intermediate-age stellar populations in between the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]
, 2013 The origin of the gas in between the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) -- known as the `Magellanic Bridge' (MB) -- is puzzling. Numerical simulations suggest that the MB formed from tidally stripped gas and stars in a recent interaction between the MCs. However, the apparent lack of stripped intermediate- or old-age stars associated with the MB is at odds with ...

The detection of an older population in the Magellanic Bridge [PDF]
, 2012 The Magellanic system comprises the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), and the less frequently observed Magellanic Bridge and Magellanic Stream. The Bridge is traced by neutral gas and has an observed stellar component, while the Stream consists of gas only, with no observed stellar counterpart to date.

HIGH-MASS STAR FORMATION TRIGGERED BY COLLISION BETWEEN CO FILAMENTS IN N159 WEST IN THE LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD [PDF]
, 2015 We have carried out 13CO(J = 2–1) observations of the active star-forming region N159 west in the Large Magellanic Cloud with ALMA. We have found that the CO distribution at a sub-parsec scale is highly elongated with a small width.
