NGC1818 unveils the origin of the extended main-sequence turn-off in young Magellanic Clouds clusters [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
The nature of young star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds is debated. Here, the authors show an alternative approach that exploits data to exclude the presence of age differences greater than a few million years among cluster stars in a very young ...

The Most Metal-poor Stars in the Magellanic Clouds Are r-process Enhanced [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomical Journal, 2021
The chemical abundances of a galaxy’s metal-poor stellar population can be used to investigate the earliest stages of its formation and chemical evolution.

The Magellanic Stream at 20 kpc: A New Orbital History for the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal Letters, 2021
We present new simulations of the formation of the Magellanic Stream based on an updated first-passage interaction history for the Magellanic Clouds, including both the Galactic and Magellanic Coronae and a live dark matter halo for the Milky Way.

OGLE-ing the Magellanic System: Optical Reddening Maps of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds from Red Clump Stars [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2020
We present the most extensive and detailed reddening maps of the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) derived from the color properties of Red Clump (RC) stars. The analysis is based on the deep photometric maps from the fourth phase of the Optical Gravitational ...

Empirical Calibration of the Reddening Maps in the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2020
We present reddening maps of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), based on color measurements of the red clump. Reddening values of our maps were obtained by calculating the difference of the observed and intrinsic color of ...

Gaia Early Data Release 3: Structure and properties of the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
We compare the Gaia DR2 and Gaia EDR3 performances in the study of the Magellanic Clouds and show the clear improvements in precision and accuracy in the new release.

Discovery of the Magellanic Stellar Stream Out to 100 kpc

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The Magellanic Stream (MS)—an enormous ribbon of gas spanning 140° of the southern sky trailing the Magellanic Clouds—has been exquisitely mapped in the five decades since its discovery.

Magellanic Clouds Cepheids: Thorium Abundances [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2018
The analysis of the high-resolution spectra of 31 Magellanic Clouds Cepheid variables enabled the identification of thorium lines. The abundances of thorium were found with spectrum synthesis method. The calculated thorium abundances exhibit correlations

The Missing Satellites of the Magellanic Clouds? Gaia Proper Motions of the Recently Discovered Ultra-faint Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2018
According to LCDM theory, hierarchical evolution occurs on all mass scales, implying that satellites of the Milky Way should also have companions. The recent discovery of ultra-faint dwarf galaxy candidates in close proximity to the Magellanic Clouds ...

The relation between radio flux density and ionizing ultra-violet flux for HII regions and supernova remnants in the Large Magellanic cloud [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian Astronomical Journal, 2003
We present a comparison between the Parkes radio surveys (Filipović et al 1995) and Vacuum Ultra-Violet (VUV) surveys (Smith et al. 1987) of the Large Magellanic Clouds (LMC). We have found 72 sources in common in the LMC which are known HII regions (52)
