Photometric metallicity map of the Small Magellanic Cloud [PDF]

, 2018
We have created an estimated metallicity map of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) using the Magellanic Cloud Photometric Survey (MCPS) and Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE III) photometric data. This is a first of its kind map of metallicity

Principal sensory experiences of forest visitors in four countries, for evidence‐based nature therapy

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.

Scylla. V. Constraints on the Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Bursts and the Interaction History of the Magellanic Clouds from Their Resolved Stellar Populations

The Astrophysical Journal
We measure the star formation histories (SFHs) from the Scylla survey in ∼98,000 pc ^2 and ∼75,000 pc ^2 of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) and Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), respectively, using deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging (80% complete to > 1 ...

A new search for R Coronae Borealis stars in the SMC

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars are rare, and their evolutionary origin is not well understood. Since they are obscured due to formation of carbon dust around the star during their mass loss events, RCB stars can be classified as self-eclipsing variable ...

Chemical Evolution of the Universe and its Consequences for Gravitational‐Wave Astrophysics

Annalen der Physik, Volume 536, Issue 2, February 2024.
Population properties of double compact object mergers (especially binary black holes) are sensitive to the metallicity dependent cosmic star formation history. The uncertainty of this quantity cannot be ignored and makes the interpretation of current gravitational wave observations difficult.

Scylla. III. The Outside-in Radial Age Gradient in the Small Magellanic Cloud and the Star Formation Histories of the Main Body, Wing, and Outer Regions

The Astrophysical Journal
The proximity of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) provides the opportunity to study the impact of dwarf–dwarf interactions on their mass assembly with a unique level of detail. To this end, we analyze two-filter broadband imaging of 83

Multivariate comparisons of the period–light-curve shape distributions of Cepheids in five galaxies [PDF]

, 2007
A number of published tests suitable for the comparison of multivariate distributions are described. The results of a small power study, based on realistic Cepheid log period – Fourier coefficient data, are presented.
