Production of Milky Way structure by the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]
Astrophys.J. 455 (1995) L31, 1995 Previous attempts at disturbing the galactic disk by the Magellanic Clouds relied on direct tidal forcing. However, by allowing the halo to actively respond rather than remain a rigid contributor to the rotation curve, the Clouds may produce a wake in the halo which then distorts the disk.

Modelling dust extinction in the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2015 We model the extinction profiles observed in the Small and Large Magellanic clouds with a synthetic population of dust grains consisting by core-mantle particles and a collection of free-flying polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Molecules in the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1991 In this short review we describe recent new observations of millimetre transitions of molecules in selected regions of the Magellanic Clouds. The observations were made using the Swedish-ESO Submillimetre Telescope, SEST, (Booth et al. 1989), the relatively high resolution of which facilitates, for the first time, observations of individual giant ...

Discovery of the Magellanic Stellar Stream Out to 100 kpc
The 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.

CCD imagers for the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite from benchtop to space environment
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 8-9, October-November 2023., 2023 Abstract The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is a Massachusetts Institute of Technology‐led NASA Explorer‐class mission planned to spend 2 years discovering transiting exoplanets by an all‐sky survey. The observatory contains four wide field‐of‐view camera systems for a total of 16.8 Megapixel, low‐noise, low‐power CCD detectors.

Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1995 AbstractIn the past few years, the Magellanic Clouds have been the targets for several major variable star surveys. The results of these surveys are now becoming available and it is clear that a Renaissance in LMC and SMC variable star research will result.

Magellanic Clouds Cepheids: Thorium Abundances [PDF]
Journal 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

LRO‐LAMP Lunar South Pole Cold Traps: Assessment of H2O and Potential CO2 and NH3 Reserves
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 128, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Nighttime Lyman Alpha Mapping Project (LAMP) observations are used to investigate condensed volatiles at the south polar region of the Moon. This study incorporates LAMP data from the first ∼7 years of the mission and Diviner annual maximum temperatures to search for volatile signatures associated with H2O, NH3, and CO2. Other stable potential
