The Magellanic Clouds Photometric Survey: the Small Magellanic Cloud Stellar Catalog and Extinction Map

We present our catalog of U , B, V , and I stellar photometry of the central 18 sq.◦ area of the Small Magellanic Cloud. We combine our data with the 2MASS and DENIS catalogs to provide, when available, U through KS data for stars. Internal and external astrometric and photometric tests using existing optical photometry (U , B, and V from Massey’s bright star catalog; B, V , and I from the micr...

The 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...

Superbubbles in the Magellanic Clouds

Superbubbles that result from the stellar winds and supernovae of OB associations probably play a fundamental role in the structure and energetics of the ISM in star-forming galaxies. Their influence may also dominate the relationship between the different interstellar gas phases. How do superbubbles form and evolve? How do they affect the local and global ISM? The Magellanic Clouds provide a s...

Comparison with the Magellanic Clouds

Aims. The star complexes (large scale star forming regions) of NGC 6822 were traced and mapped and their size distribution was compared with the size distribution of star complexes in the Magellanic Clouds (MCs). Furthermore, the spatial distributions of different age stellar populations were compared with each other. Methods. The star complexes of NGC 6822 were determined by using the isopleth...
