A Genetic Approach to the History of the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]
, 2014 The history of the Magellanic Clouds is investigated using N-body hydrodynamic simulations where the initial conditions are set by a genetic algorithm. This technique allows us to identify possible orbits for the Magellanic Clouds around the Milky Way, by directly comparing the simulations with observational constraints.

The Morphologies of the Small Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2000 We compare the distribution of stars of different spectral types, and hence mean age, within the central SMC and find that the asymmetric structures are almost exclusively composed of young main sequence stars. Because of the relative lack of older stars in these features, and the extremely regular distribution of red giant and clump stars in the SMC ...

New 6 and 3-cm radio-continuum maps of the Small Magellanic Cloud - part II: Point source catalogue [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2012 We present two new catalogues of radio-continuum sources in the field of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). These catalogues contain sources found at 4800 MHz (λ=6cm) and 8640 MHz (λ=3cm).

N-body simulations of the Magellanic Stream
, 2005 A suite of high-resolution N-body simulations of the Magellanic Clouds -- Milky Way system are presented and compared directly with newly available data from the HI Parkes All-Sky Survey (HIPASS).

The binarity of the Clouds and the formation of the Magellanic Stream [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2008 AbstractThe HST proper motion (PM) measurements of the Clouds have severe implications for their interaction history with the Milky Way (MW) and with each other. The Clouds are likely on their first passage about the MW and the SMC's orbit about the LMC is better described as quasi-periodic rather than circular.

DELVE 6: An Ancient, Ultra-faint Star Cluster on the Outskirts of the Magellanic Clouds
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We present the discovery of DELVE 6, an ultra-faint stellar system identified in the second data release of the DECam Local Volume Exploration (DELVE) survey. Based on a maximum-likelihood fit to its structure and stellar population, we find that DELVE 6

The connection between the host halo and the satellite galaxies of the Milky Way [PDF]
, 2016 Many properties of the Milky Way's dark matter halo, including its mass assembly history, concentration, and subhalo population, remain poorly constrained.

Infrared Properties of Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars in Our Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]
, 2019 We investigate infrared properties of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in our Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds using various infrared observational data and theoretical models. We use catalogs for the sample of 4996 AGB stars in our Galaxy and about 39,000 AGB stars in the Magellanic Clouds from the available literature.

Surveys of the Milky Way and Magellanic System in the λ21-cm line of atomic hydrogen
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 In the next three years, surveys of the Northern and Southern skies using focal plane arrays on aperture synthesis radio telescopes will lead to a breakthrough in our knowledge of the warm and cool atomic phases of the interstellar medium and their ...
