The Magellanic Clouds, Past, Present and Future - A Summary of IAU Symposium No. 190 [PDF]

arXiv, 1998
Important problems to which we would like to find answers are: What are the distances to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC)? What is the present distribution of stars, gas and dark matter in the Clouds, and how did it evolve?

Magellanic System Stars Identified in SMACS J0723.3-7327 James Webb Space Telescope Early Release Observations Images

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We identify 71 distant stars in James Webb Space Telescope/NIRCam early release observations (ERO) images of the field of galaxy cluster SMACS J0723.3-7327 (SMACS 0723).

Morphology of stellar populations in the Magellanic Clouds using the VMC survey [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
The Magellanic Clouds are nearby dwarf irregular galaxies that represent a unique laboratory for studying galaxy interactions. Their morphology and dynamics have been heavily influenced by their mutual interactions as well as with their interaction(s) with the Milky Way.

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

, 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 eastern wing, based on observations obtained with the VISTA Survey of the Magellanic Clouds (VMC ...

SMC SMP 24: A newly radio-detected planetary nebula in the small Magellanic cloud [PDF]

Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2010
In this paper we report a new radio-continuum detection of an extragalactic planetary nebula (PN): SMC SMP 24. We show the radio-continuum image of this PN and present the measured radio data.

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 ...

The Magellanic Squall: Gas Replenishment from the Small to Large Magellanic Cloud

, 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.

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

, 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.

A Detailed Look at Chemical Abundances in Magellanic Cloud Planetary Nebulae. I. The Small Magellanic Cloud

, 2010
We present an analysis of elemental abundances of He, N, O, Ne, S, and Ar in Magellanic Cloud planetary nebulae (PNe), and focus initially on 14 PNe in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC).

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 ...
