The Morphologies of the Small Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2000 We compare the distribution of stars of different spectral types, and hence mean age, within the central SMC and find that the asymmetric structures are almost exclusively composed of young main sequence stars. Because of the relative lack of older stars

Infrared Dark Clouds in the Small Magellanic Cloud? [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2009 We have applied the unsharp-masking technique to the 24 $\mu$m image of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope, to search for high-extinction regions.

Evolution of the Small Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
, 2007 Based on the results of N-body simulations on the last 2.5 Gyr evolution of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC, respectively) interacting with the Galaxy, we firstly show when and where the leading arms (LAs) of the Magellanic stream (MS)

Variability-selected quasars behind the Small Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2002 We present followup spectroscopic observations of quasar candidates in the Small Magellanic Cloud selected by Eyer from the OGLE database. Of twelve observed objects identified as "QSO Candidate", five are confirmed quasars, with the emission redshifts ...

X-ray Pulsars in the Small Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2004 XMM-Newton archival data for the Small Magellanic Cloud have been examined for the presence of previously undetected X-ray pulsars. One such pulsar, with a period of 202 s, is detected.

The Magellanic Squall: Gas Replenishment from the Small to Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2007 We first show that a large amount of metal-poor gas is stripped from the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) and fallen into the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) during the tidal interaction between the SMC, the LMC, and the Galaxy over the last 2 Gyrs.

N-body simulations of the Small Magellanic Cloud and the Magellanic Stream [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1996 An extensive set of N-body simulations has been carried out on the gravitational interaction of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) with the Galaxy and the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The SMC is assumed to have been a barred galaxy with a disc-to-halo mass ratio of unity before interaction and modelled by a large number of self-gravitating particles ...

The Phanerozoic climate. [PDF]
Ann N Y Acad Sci, 2023 We review the long‐term climate variations during the last 540 million years (Phanerozoic Eon). We first summarize the geological and geochemical datasets available for reconstruction of long‐term climate variations. We then explore the main drivers of climate that appear to explain a large fraction of these climatic oscillations. The first is the long‐

Discovery of the Magellanic Stellar Stream Out to 100 kpc
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The Magellanic Stream (MS)—an enormous ribbon of gas spanning 140° of the southern sky trailing the Magellanic Clouds—has been exquisitely mapped in the five decades since its discovery.
