Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010 In this tutorial paper we summarize how the star formation (SF) history of a galactic region can be derived from the colour‐magnitude diagram (CMD) of its resolved stars. The procedures to build synthetic CMDs and to exploit them to derive the SF histories (SFHs) are described, as well as the corresponding uncertainties.

The Truncated Circumgalactic Medium of the Large Magellanic Cloud
The Astrophysical Journal LettersThe Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is the nearest massive galaxy to the Milky Way (MW). Its circumgalactic medium (CGM) is complex and multiphase, containing both stripped H i structures like the Magellanic Stream and Bridge and a diffuse warm corona seen ...

People and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 2480-2493, December 2024.Abstract To advance the theoretical and practical underpinnings for nature therapies, i.e. nature exposure as a means to improve mental health, we compared the most memorable sensory experiences reported by forest tourists in Australia, Chile, China and Japan. Sensory experiences are a fundamental driver of the psychological effects of nature exposure.

The Relevance of Dynamical Friction for the MW/LMC/SMC Triple System
UniverseSimulations of structure formation in the standard cold dark matter cosmological model quantify the dark matter halos of galaxies. Taking into account dynamical friction between dark matter halos, we investigate the past orbital dynamical evolution of ...

The Astronomical Journal, 1985 New high-sensitivity observations of the Magellanic Stream have been carried out from the Instituto Argentino de Radioastronomia. The Stream was surveyed between dec. -44 deg and -20 deg. The data are presented in the form of maps of H I column density distribution and velocity distribution.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2024.Some white‐tailed deer populations are migratory in locations with severe and chronic seasonal resource limitations, but biological justification for such behaviors is lacking at lower latitudes. We document migratory behavior termed the "mobile" movement strategy in 33% of adult male deer in a low‐latitude system void of such environmental pressures ...

The Metallicities of Five Small High-velocity Clouds
The Astrophysical JournalHigh-velocity clouds (HVCs) are multiphase gas structures whose velocities (∣ v _LSR ∣ ≥ 100 km s ^−1 ) are too high to be explained by Galactic disk rotation.

Towards a fundamental astrometric reference system behind the Malleganic clouds : spectroscopic confirmation of new quasar candidates selected in the near-infrared [PDF]
, 2016 Quasi-stellar objects (quasars) located behind nearby galaxies provide an excellent absolute reference system for astrometric studies, but they are difficult to identify because of fore- and background contamination.

The Small‐Scale Structure of the Magellanic Stream [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2002 We have mapped in neutral hydrogen (HI) two regions at the northern tip of the Magellanic Stream, known as MS V and MS VI, using the Arecibo telescope. The small-scale structure of the MS shows clumpy and head-tail morphology. The spatial power spectrum of this star-free intergalactic medium has a power-law behavior with the density slope of -3.8.
