Magnetic Field Structure in the small Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1990 The present status of an ongoing observational program to study the magnetic field structure of the SMC by means of optical polarimetry is presented. Being the SMC more distant than the LMC, the observed optical polarization would mainly originate in the distorted outer layers in the front side of the SMC.

The Small Magellanic Cloud Investigation of Dust and Gas Evolution (SMIDGE): The Dust Extinction Curve from Red Clump Stars [PDF]
, 2017 We use Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of red clump stars taken as part of the Small Magellanic Cloud Investigation of Dust and Gas Evolution (SMIDGE) program to measure the average dust extinction curve in a ∼200 pc × 100 pc region in the ...

The MAGellanic Inter-Cloud project (MAGIC) I: Evidence for intermediate-age stellar populations in between the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]
, 2013 The origin of the gas in between the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) -- known as the `Magellanic Bridge' (MB) -- is puzzling. Numerical simulations suggest that the MB formed from tidally stripped gas and stars in a recent interaction between the MCs. However, the apparent lack of stripped intermediate- or old-age stars associated with the MB is at odds with ...

Wolf-Rayet stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud as testbed for massive star evolution [PDF]
, 2017 The majority of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars represent the stripped cores of evolved massive stars who lost most of their hydrogen envelope. In low metallicity environments, such as the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), stellar winds are weaker and binary ...

ALMA Observations of N83C in the Early Stage of Star Formation in the Small Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
, 2017 We have performed Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations in the 12CO( ), 13CO( ), C18O( ), 12CO( ), 13CO( ), and CS( ) lines toward the active star-forming region N83C in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), whose metallicity is ...

THE VMC SURVEY. XIX. CLASSICAL CEPHEIDS IN THE SMALL MAGELLANIC CLOUD [PDF]
, 2016 The “VISTA near-infrared YJKs survey of the Magellanic Clouds System” (VMC) is collecting deep Ks-band time-series photometry of pulsating variable stars hosted by the two Magellanic Clouds and their connecting Bridge.

Optically visible post-AGB/RGB stars and young stellar objects in the small magellanic cloud: Candidate selection, spectral energy distributions and spectroscopic examination [PDF]
, 2014 We have carried out a search for optically visible post-AGB candidates in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). We used mid-IR observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope to select optically visible candidates with a mid-IR excess.

WFPC2 Imaging of Young Clusters in the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]
, 1999 We have carried out Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 F160BW, F555W and F656N imaging of four young populous clusters: NGC 330 in the Small Magellanic Cloud and NGC 1818, NGC 2004 and NGC 2100 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. We report photometric results for these four clusters, including identification using photometric colours of the cluster Be star ...

Swift Ultraviolet Survey of the Magellanic Clouds (SUMaC). I. Shape of the Ultraviolet Dust Extinction Law and Recent Star Formation History of the Small Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
, 2016 We present the first results from the Swift Ultraviolet Survey of the Magellanic Clouds (SUMaC), the highest resolution ultraviolet (UV) survey of the Magellanic Clouds yet completed. In this paper, we focus on the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC).
