The Star Clusters of the Large Magellanic Cloud: Structural Parameters

, 2011
We present and analyze the radial luminosity profiles of a sample of 1066 stellar clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud. By design, this study closely follows the compilation by Hill & Zaritsky of the structural parameters of stellar clusters in the ...

INTEGRAL deep observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud

, 2010
Deep observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) and region were carried out in the hard X-ray band by the INTEGRAL observatory in 2008-2009. The field of view of the instrument permitted simultaneous coverage of the entire SMC and the eastern end of the Magellanic Bridge.

Catalog of Integrated-light Star Cluster Light Curves in TESS

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present the first integrated-light, TESS-based light curves for star clusters in the Milky Way, Small Magellanic Cloud, and Large Magellanic Cloud. We explore the information encoded in these light curves, with particular emphasis on variability.

COSMIC-S: A Photometric Catalog of Observed Stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
The Dark Energy Camera (DECam) is a wide-field instrument mounted on the 4 m V. Blanco Telescope (Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory). Its impressive technical characteristics make it one of the most suitable ground-based telescopes for the ...

Spatially Resolved Temperature and Density Structures of Nearby H ii Regions

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Photoionization models frequently assume constant temperature or density within H ii regions. We investigate this assumption by measuring the detailed temperature and density structures of four H ii regions in the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small ...

AKARI Detection of the Infrared-Bright Supernova Remnant B0104-72.3 in the Small Magellanic Cloud

, 2007
We present a serendipitous detection of the infrared-bright supernova remnant (SNR) B0104-72.3 in the Small Magellanic Cloud by the Infrared Camera (IRC) onboard AKARI.

Interstellar Polarization in the Small Magellanic Cloud [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1992
Data of our on-going program on the interstellar polarization in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) seem to show a correlation between the UV extinction and the parameters of the Serkowski law which describe the polarization. Fits of popular interstellar dust models to the polarization data are not always satisfactory, being better for stars with small ...

THE PROPER MOTION OF THE MAGELLANIC CLOUDS. II. NEW RESULTS FOR FIVE SMALL MAGELLANIC CLOUD FIELDS

The Astronomical Journal, 2011
We present new results from a ground-based program to determine the proper motion of the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) relative to background quasars (QSOs), being carried out with the Ir?ne? du Pont 2.5?m telescope at Las Campanas Observatory, Chile. The data were secured over a time base of seven years and with eight epochs of observation As measured ...

Untangling Magellanic Streams

The Open Journal of Astrophysics
The Magellanic Stream (MS) is known to contain multiple HI strands and corresponding stellar populations are being discovered. Combining a sample of 17 stars from the H3 (“Hectochelle in the Halo at High Resolution”) survey with 891 stars drawn from the

The H alpha Galaxy Survey VI. Star-forming companions of nearby field galaxies

, 2008
We present a search for star-forming satellite galaxies that are close enough to their parent galaxies to be considered analogues of the Magellanic Clouds. Our search technique relied on the detection of the satellites in continuum-subtracted narrow-band
