Cold HI ejected into the Magellanic Stream [PDF]
We report the direct detection of cold HI gas in a cloud ejected from the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) towards the Magellanic Stream. The cloud is part of a fragmented shell of HI gas on the outskirts of the SMC. This is the second direct detection of cold HI associated with the Magellanic Stream using absorption.

The Large Magellanic Cloud and the Distance Scale
The Magellanic Clouds, especially the Large Magellanic Cloud, are places where multiple distance indicators can be compared with each other in a straight-forward manner at considerable precision.

Star Clusters in the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]
The evolutionary history of the Magellanic Clouds has been very different from that of the Galaxy. As a result we presently observe major differences between both the stellar content and the cluster populations in the Galaxy and the Clouds.

Searching for Be star candidates within large databases
Long time surveys yield many light curves among their byproducts, useful to identify candidate Be stars that can be confirmed by spectroscopic follow-ups. We present in this work different techniques we have used to find Be star candidates in the Galaxy,

New 6 and 3-cm radio-continuum maps of the Small Magellanic Cloud, Part I: The maps [PDF]
We present new 6 and 3-cm radio-continuum maps of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), created with the "peeling" technique and a joint deconvolution. The maps have resolutions of 3000 and 2000 and r.m.s., noise of 0.7 and 0.8 mJy/beam at 6 and 3 ...

Spatial motion of the Magellanic Clouds. Tidal models ruled out?
Recently, Kallivayalil et al. derived new values of the proper motion for the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC, respectively). The spatial velocities of both Clouds are unexpectedly higher than their previous values resulting from agreement

Orbits of LMC/SMC with recent ground-based proper motions
In recent years, with new ground-based and HST measurements of proper motions of the Magellanic Clouds being published, a need of a reanalysis of possible orbital history has arisen.

BVR PHOTOMETRY OF SUPERGIANT STARS IN HOLMBERG II [PDF]
We report the photometric properties in BVR bands for the resolved bright supergiant stars in the dwarf galaxy Holmberg II. The color-magnitude diagrams and color-color diagram of 374 resolved stars indicate that the majority of the member stars are ...

The Magellanic Clouds, Past, Present and Future - A Summary of IAU Symposium No. 190 [PDF]
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?
arxiv
Observations of the Galactic bulge revealed an excess of short-timescale gravitational microlensing events that are generally attributed to a large population of free-floating or wide-orbit exoplanets.
