Evolution of stellar structure in the Small Magellanic Cloud
The projected distribution of stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) from the Magellanic Clouds Photometric Survey is analysed. Stars of different ages are selected via criteria based on V magnitude and V − I colour, and the degree of ‘grouping’ as a function of age is studied. We quantify the degree of structure using the two-point correlation function and a method based on the Minimum Span...
متن کاملMagnetic Field Structure of the Large Magellanic Cloud from Faraday Rotation Measures of Diffuse Polarized Emission
We present a study of the magnetic field of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), carried out using diffuse polarized synchrotron emission data at 1.4 GHz acquired at the Parkes Radio Telescope and the Australia Telescope Compact Array. The observed diffuse polarized emission is likely to originate above the LMC disk on the near side of the galaxy. Consistent negative rotation measures (RMs) derive...
متن کاملThe Morphologies of the Small Magellanic Cloud.
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 in these features and the extremely regular distribution of red giant and clump stars in the SMC central body, we conclude that tides alone ar...
متن کاملEvolution of the Small Magellanic Cloud
We investigate (1) the origin of the bifurcation of the Magellanic stream (MS), (2) the formation of distinctively metal-poor stellar populations in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) due to sporadic gas transfer from the SMC, and (3) the collision between the leading arms (LAs) of the MS and the outer part of the Galactic HI disk based on numerical simulations of LMC-SMCGalaxy interaction for th...
متن کاملINTEGRAL observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud
The first INTEGRAL observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud (carried out in 2003) are reported in which two sources are clearly detected. The first source, SMC X-1, shows a hard X-ray eclipse and measurements of its pulse period indicate a continuation of the long-term spin-up now covering ∼30 years. The second source is likely to be a high mass X-ray binary, and shows a potential periodicity...
