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.

Chemical Evolution of the Universe and its Consequences for Gravitational‐Wave Astrophysics

Annalen der Physik, Volume 536, Issue 2, February 2024.
Population properties of double compact object mergers (especially binary black holes) are sensitive to the metallicity dependent cosmic star formation history. The uncertainty of this quantity cannot be ignored and makes the interpretation of current gravitational wave observations difficult.

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.

The Period–Luminosity Relation of Long-period Variables in the Large Magellanic Cloud Observed with ATLAS

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Period–luminosity (PL) relations of long-period variables (LPVs) are a powerful tool to map the distances of stars in our Galaxy, and are typically calibrated using stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).

Properties of Anomalous and Type II Cepheids in the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) and Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) give us the possibility to study individual variable star types in a new way. Literature data provide us with photometric information about objects from the ultraviolet to the infrared ...

Threading the Magellanic Needle: Hypervelocity Stars Trace the Past Location of the LMC

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Recent discoveries have shown that a population of hypervelocity stars (HVSs) originates from the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We use three such HVSs as dynamical tracers to constrain the past orbit of the LMC.

The period distribution of Cepheids: a test of stellar evolution

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
The period distributions of classical Cepheids in the Small and Large Magellanic Cloud are quite different. Using the TRILEGAL population synthesis code and a theoretical instability strip the ultimate aim is to understand these differences ...

Astrophysical Distance Scale. VII. A Self-consistent, Multiwavelength Calibration of the Slopes and Relative Zero Points for the Run of Luminosity with the Color of Stars Defining the Tip of the Red Giant Branch

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
Given the recent successful launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, determining robust calibrations of the slopes and absolute magnitudes of the near- to mid-infrared tip of the red-giant branch (TRGB) will be essential to measuring precise ...
