High-mass X-ray binaries in the Small Magellanic Cloud ⋆ [PDF]

, 2015
The last comprehensive catalogue of high-mass X-ray binaries in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) was published about ten years ago. Since then new such systems were discovered, mainly by X-ray observations with Chandra and XMM-Newton. For the majority of

The First Year of S-CUBED: The Swift Small Magellanic Cloud Survey [PDF]

Astrophysical Journal, 2018
The Swift Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) Survey, S-CUBED, is a high-cadence shallow X-ray survey of the SMC. The survey consists of 142 tiled pointings covering the optical extent of the SMC, which is performed weekly by NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift ...

The Magellanic squall: gas replenishment from the Small to the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2007
Abstract We first show that a large amount of metal-poor gas is stripped from the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) and falls into the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) during the tidal interaction between the SMC, the LMC and the Galaxy over the last 2 Gyr. We propose that this metal-poor gas can closely be associated with the origin of the LMC's

A High-resolution Imaging Survey of Massive Young Stellar Objects in the Magellanic Clouds

The Astrophysical Journal
Constraints on the binary fraction of massive young stellar objects (mYSOs) are important for binary and massive star formation theory. Here, we present speckle imaging of 34 mYSOs located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (1/2 Z _⊙ ) and Small Magellanic ...

A Comprehensive Library of X-Ray Pulsars in the Small Magellanic Cloud: Time Evolution of Their Luminosities and Spin Periods [PDF]

, 2017
We have collected and analyzed the complete archive of XMM-Newton (116), Chandra (151), and RXTE (952) observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), spanning 1997–2014. The resulting observational library provides a comprehensive view of the physical,

HEAD IN THE STARS, FEET ON THE GROUND: Scale and Astronomy Initiatives in Southern Africa

Cultural Anthropology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 571-596, November 2025.
ABSTRACT This article explores the evolution of radio astronomy in South Africa and Madagascar, focusing on how “scale” functions as both a way of understanding the world and marking differences in existence. In outer space research, the ground is crucial but often overlooked.

New 20-cm radio-continuum study of the small Magellanic cloud: Part I. Images [PDF]

Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2011
We present and discuss new high-sensitivity and resolution radiocontinuum images of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) at λ=20 cm (ν=1.4 GHz). The new images were created by merging 20-cm radio-continuum archival data, from the Australian ...

The VMC survey - XIV. First results on the look-back time star formation rate tomography of the Small Magellanic Cloud [PDF]

, 2015
We analyse deep images from the VISTA survey of the Magellanic Clouds in the YJKs filters, covering 14 sqrdeg (10 tiles), split into 120 subregions, and comprising the main body and Wing of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC).

On the Age Distribution of Classical Cepheids in the Galaxy

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 5, June 2025.
ABSTRACT We revisit the problem of the positive correlation between age and Galactocentric distance seen in Galactic Classical Cepheids, which at first sight may seem counter‐intuitive in the context of inside‐out galaxy formation. To explain it, we use the Besançon Galaxy Model and a simulation of star particles in the Galactic disc coupled with ...
