The Distances of the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]

, 1998
The present status of our knowledge of the distances to the Magellanic Clouds is evaluated from a post-Hipparcos perspective. After a brief summary of the effects of structure, reddening, age and metallicity, the primary distance indicators for the Large Magellanic Cloud are reviewed: The SN 1987A ring, Cepheids, RR Lyraes, Mira variables, and ...

Properties of the Magellanic Corona [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We characterize the Magellanic Corona, the warm gaseous halo around the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The Corona is a key ingredient in the formation of the Magellanic Stream and has recently been observed in high-ion absorption around the LMC.

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

Nature 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 high-velocity clouds and the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2004
From an analysis of the sky and velocity distributions of the high-velocity clouds (HVCs) we show that the majority of the HVCs has a common origin. We conclude that the HVCs surround the Galaxy, forming a metacloud of 300 kpc in size and with a mass of ...

The scattered debris of the Magellanic Stream [PDF]

, 2008
Searching the HI Parkes All-Sky Survey (HIPASS) and its northern extension, we detected a population of very compact high-velocity clouds (HVCs) with similar velocities in the Galactic standard-of-rest frame which appear to be arranged in several filaments aligned with the nearby Magellanic Stream. A comparison with published OVI/CaII absorption and HI

Pulsating variable stars in the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]

The Magellanic System: Stars, Gas, and Galaxies, Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, IAU Symposium 2008, Volume 256, p. 373-384, 2009
Pulsating variable stars can be powerful tools to study the structure, formation and evolution of galaxies. I discuss the role that the Magellanic Clouds' pulsating variables play in our understanding of the whole Magellanic System, in light of results on pulsating variables produced by extensive observing campaigns like the MACHO and OGLE microlensing

Low-excitation blobs in the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]

, 2006
Aims : We study an unknown, or very poorly known, interstellar HII component in the Magellanic Clouds. This is the first study ever devoted to this class of objects, which we call Low-excitation blobs (LEBs). Methods : We used low-dispersion spectroscopy carried out at ESO to obtain emission line intensities of Ha, Hb, and [OIII] (4959+5007) for 15 ...

GASS High Velocity Clouds in the Region of the Magellanic Leading Arm [PDF]

, 2012
We present a catalog of high-velocity clouds in the region of the Magellanic Leading Arm. The catalog is based on neutral hydrogen (\HI) observations from the Parkes Galactic All-Sky Survey (GASS). Excellent spectral resolution allows clouds with narrow-line components to be resolved. The total number of detected clouds is 419.

Rotation of the Milky Way and the formation of the Magellanic Stream [PDF]

, 2010
We studied the impact of the revisited values for the LSR circular velocity of the Milky Way (Reid et al. 2004) on the formation of the Magellanic Stream. The LSR circular velocity was varied within its observational uncertainties as a free parameter of the interaction between the Large (LMC) and the Small (SMC) Magellanic Clouds and the Galaxy.
