Large Magellanic Cloud
Formation of GMCs is one of the most crucial issues in galaxy evolution. I will compare CO and HI in the LMC in 3 dimensional space for the first time aiming at revealing the physical connection between GMCs and associated HI gas at a ∼ 40 pc scale. The present major findings are 1) [total CO intensity] ∝ [total HI intensity] for the 110 GMCs, and 2) the HI intensity tends to increase with the ...
متن کاملKinematics of massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud
We present radial velocities for 2045 stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), obtained from the 2dF survey by Evans et al. (2004). The great majority of these stars are of OBA type, tracing the dynamics of the young stellar population. Dividing the sample into ad hoc ‘bar’ and ‘wing’ samples (north and south, respectively, of the line: δ = −77◦50′ + [4α]′, where α is in minutes of time) we f...
متن کاملDiscovery of Extreme Carbon Stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Using Spitzer IRAC and MIPS observations of the Large Magellanic Cloud, we have identified 13 objects that have extremely red mid-IR colors. Follow-up Spitzer IRS observations of seven of these sources reveal varying amounts of SiC and C2H2 absorption as well as the presence of a broad MgS feature in at least two cases, indicating that these are extreme carbon stars. Preliminary estimates find ...
متن کاملT Tauri Stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is an excellent laboratory to study the formation of solar-mass stars in a low-metallicity environment, similar to the conditions expected in the early phases of galactic evolution. Here we present preliminary results from a search for low-mass pre-main-sequence stars in the SMC based on Hubble Space Telescope archival data. Candidates are selected on the basis ...
متن کاملJ-type carbon stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
A sample of 1497 carbon stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) has been observed in the red part of the spectrum with the 2dF facility on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. Of these, 156 have been identified as J-type (i.e. 13C-rich) carbon stars using a technique which provides a clear distinction between J stars and the normal N-type carbon stars that comprise the bulk of the sample, and yiel...
