Two Ring Nebulae around Blue Supergiants in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Ring nebulae are often found around massive stars such as Wolf-Rayet stars, OB and Of stars and Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs). In this paper we report on two ring nebulae around blue supergiants in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The star Sk−69 279 is classified as O9f and is surrounded by a closed shell with a diameter of 4.5 pc. Our echelle observations show an expansion velocity of 14 kms and a...
متن کاملOn the Distribution of Dust in the Large Magellanic Cloud
We present a detailed map of the reddening in a 1.9◦ × 1.5◦ section of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), constructed from UBV I photometry of 2069 O and B main sequence stars. We use two reddening-free photometric parameters to determine the line-of-sight reddening to these stars. We find a mean reddening, 〈E(B−V )〉LMC = 0.20 mag, with a non-Gaussian tail to high values. When the reddening is c...
متن کاملDust and Stellar Populations in the Large Magellanic Cloud
We present an analysis of line-of-sight extinction measurements obtained using data from the Magellanic Clouds Photometric Survey (Zaritsky, Harris, & Thompson 1997, AJ, 114, 1002), which provides 4-filter photometry for millions of stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud. We find that visual extinctions are typically larger by several tenths of a magnitude for stars with effective temperatures > 1...
متن کاملGas and dust budget of the Large Magellanic Cloud
Recent observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope enable us to study the mid-infrared dust excess of Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Using mid-infrared spectra, together with photometric data from the SAGE programme, we establish a colour selection of carbon-rich AGB stars with intermediate and high mass-loss rates. We also established mass-loss rate ...
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 ...
