Dust in the Small Magellanic Cloud: Interstellar Polarization and Extinction
The typical extinction curve for the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), in contrast to that for the Galaxy, has no bump at 2175 Å and has a steeper rise into the far ultraviolet. For the Galaxy the interpretation of the extinction and, therefore, the dust content of the interstellar medium has been greatly assisted by measurements of the wavelength dependence of the polarization. To the present no s...
متن کاملThe Magellanic Clouds Photometric Survey: the Large Magellanic Cloud Stellar Catalog and Extinction Map
We present our catalog of U , B, V , and I stellar photometry of the central 64 deg area of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Internal and external astrometric and photometric tests using existing optical photometry (U , B, and V from Massey’s bright star catalog and I from the near-infrared sky survey DENIS) are used to confirm our observational uncertainty estimates. We fit stellar atmosphere model...
متن کاملLarge 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 کاملTHE GLOBAL CONTENT, DISTRIBUTION, AND KINEMATICS OF INTERSTELLAR O vi IN THE LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD
We present Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) observations of interstellar O vi absorption toward 12 early-type stars in the LargeMagellanic Cloud (LMC). The observations have a velocity resolution of.20 km s 1 (FWHM) and clearly show O vi 1031.926 Å absorption at LMC velocities toward all 12 stars. From these observations we derive column densities of interstellar O vi in this nearb...
متن کاملStarburst-like Dust Extinction in the Small Magellanic Cloud
The recent discovery that the UV dust extinction in starburst galaxies is similar to that found in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) motivated us to re-investigate the ultraviolet (UV) extinction found in the SMC. We have been able to improve significantly on previous studies by carefully choosing pairs of well matched reddened and unreddened stars. In addition, we benefited from the improved S/...
