HI power spectrum of the spiral galaxy NGC628 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We have measured the HI power spectrum of the nearly face-on spiral galaxy NGC628 (M74) using a visibility based estimator. The power spectrum is well fitted by a power law $P(U)=AU^{\alpha}$, with $\alpha =- 1.6\pm0.2$ over the length scale $800 {\rm pc}

The VMC Survey - XXIV. Signatures of tidally stripped stellar populations from the inner Small Magellanic Cloud [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We study the luminosity function of intermediate-age red-clump stars using deep, near-infrared photometric data covering $\sim$ 20 deg$^2$ located throughout the central part of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), comprising the main body and the galaxy's ...

Measurement of the Core-collapse Progenitor Mass Distribution of the Small Magellanic Cloud [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2018
The physics of core-collapse (CC) supernovae (SNe) and how the explosions depend on progenitor properties are central questions in astronomy. For only a handful of SNe, the progenitor star has been identified in pre-explosion images.

CO Observations in the Small Magellanic Cloud [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1984
The dwarf Magellanic irregular galaxies apparently have a very low molecular content compared to the Milky Way. In the LMC, molecular clouds are fairly common, but the ratio of molecular to atomic gas is at least 5 times lower than in the Galaxy (Cohen et al. 1984). Elmegreen et al.

Lactea: Web‐Based Spectrum‐Preserving Multi‐Resolution Visualization of the GAIA Star Catalog

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, Volume 44, Issue 3, June 2025.
Abstract The explosion of data in astronomy has resulted in an era of unprecedented opportunities for discovery. The GAIA mission's catalog, containing a large number of light sources (mostly stars) with several parameters such as sky position and proper motion, is playing a significant role in advancing astronomy research and has been crucial in ...

Optical spectroscopy of 20 Be/X-ray Binaries in the Small Magellanic Cloud

open access: yes, 2009
We present a large sample (20 in total) of optical spectra of Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) High-Mass X-ray Binaries obtained with the 2dF spectrograph at the Anglo-Australian Telescope.

Discovery of a loose star cluster in the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We present results for an up-to-date uncatalogued star cluster projected towards the Eastern side of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) outer disc. The new object was discovered from a search of loose star cluster in the Magellanic Clouds' (MCs) outskirts ...

Interstellar Gas-phase Element Depletions in the Small Magellanic Cloud: A Guide to Correcting for Dust in QSO Absorption Line Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We present data on the gas-phase abundances for 9 different elements in the interstellar medium of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), based on the strengths of ultraviolet absorption features over relevant velocities in the spectra of 18 stars within the ...

The Spectroscopic Hertzsprung–Russell Diagram of Hot Massive Stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2018
We present a comprehensive stellar atmosphere analysis of 329 O- and B-type stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) from the RIOTS4 survey. Using spectroscopically derived effective temperature Teff and surface gravities, we find that classical Be ...
