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.

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 ...

Discovery of 14 radio pulsars in a survey of the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]

, 2006
A systematic survey of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds for radio pulsars using the Parkes radio telescope and the 20-cm multibeam receiver has resulted in the discovery of 14 pulsars and the redetection of five of the eight previously known spin ...

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.

Small Dwarf Galaxies Within Larger Dwarfs: Why Some Are Luminous While Most Go Dark [PDF]

, 2008
We consider the possibility that the Magellanic Clouds were the largest members of a group of dwarf galaxies that entered the Milky Way (MW) halo at late times. Seven of the eleven brightest satellites of the MW may have been part of this system.

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 Small Magellanic Cloud Investigation of Dust and Gas Evolution (SMIDGE): The Dust Extinction Curve from Red Clump Stars [PDF]

, 2017
We use Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of red clump stars taken as part of the Small Magellanic Cloud Investigation of Dust and Gas Evolution (SMIDGE) program to measure the average dust extinction curve in a ~ 200 pc x 100 pc region 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.

An Independent Determination of the Distance to Supernova SN 1987A by Means of the Light Echo AT 2019xis

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

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 ...
