The Structure of the Small Magellanic Cloud.
The Astronomical Journal, 1960 In the infrared passband λλ 7000-7600 (103a-U emulsion plus RG8 filter) the 8-inch Schmidt shows the Small Cloud as a quite elliptical patch with some internal structure (Plate I). It is natural to ask whether the Small Cloud is, in fact, a complex system with one component having the essential characteristics of an elliptical galaxy.

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.

Classical Cepheids, what else?
, 2012 We present new and independent estimates of the distances to the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) using near-infrared (NIR) and optical--NIR period--Wesenheit (PW) relations. The slopes of the PW relations are, within the dispersion, linear over the entire period

The VMC survey XXX. Stellar proper motions in the central parts of the Small Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
, 2018 We present the first spatially resolved map of stellar proper motions within the central ($\sim$3.1 $\times$ 2.4 kpc) regions of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC).

Molecular Clouds in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds [PDF]
Highlights of Astronomy, 1989 To determine the distribution of molecular gas in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC), we made complete surveys in the J=1-0 transition of CO, of the central 6°×6° and 3°×2° areas of the LMC and SMC, respectively. The observations were made with the 1.2m Columbia Telescope at Cerro Tololo, which provides and angular resolution of 8.8 ...

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 ...

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.

COSMIC-S: A Photometric Catalog of Observed Stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement SeriesThe 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 ...

The evolved-star dust budget of the Small Magellanic Cloud: the critical role of a few key players [PDF]
, 2016 The lifecycle of dust in the interstellar medium (ISM) is heavily influenced by outflows from asymptotic giant branch (AGB) and red supergiant (RSG) stars, a large fraction of which is contributed by a few very dusty sources. We compute the dust input to

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
