Dust in the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2008
AbstractThe Magellanic Clouds are important templates for studying the role interstellar dust plays as actor and tracer of galaxy evolution. Due to their proximity, the Large and Small Magellanic clouds are uniquely suited to put detailed Galactic dust studies in a global context. With a metal abundance lower than that of the Sun, the Magellanic Clouds

The Dark Energy Camera Magellanic Clouds Emission-line Survey

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We have used the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) on the CTIO Blanco 4 m telescope to perform a new emission-line survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using narrowband H α and [S ii ] filters in addition to a continuum band to create pure emission-line ...

The Magellanic Clouds with LSST

open access: yes, 2019
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will provide a massive optical imaging dataset covering roughly half the sky with over ten years of repeated observation in ugrizY. The telescope is under construction, with the survey scheduled to enter full operations in 2023. LSST has a unique role to play in surveys of the Clouds.

Infrared excess in semi-regular variables in the Magellanic Clouds

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Following up on our recent work we are investigating if Type II Cepheids could be “hiding” in the sample of stars classified by the OGLE team as long-period variables.

The Fate of the Magellanic Stream [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 1994
We show that HI clouds in the Magellanic Clouds are stripped by the ram-pressure due to the halo and disk gases of the Galaxy. Molecular clouds are swept to the edge of the LMC, showing an eccentric distribution. The stripped HI clouds form a narrow band on the sky, and mimics the Magellanic Stream, when the LMC takes a polar orbit.
