نویسنده
چکیده
The geometry of the LMC bar is studied using the de-reddened mean magnitudes of the red clump stars (I0 ) from the OGLE II catalogue. The value of I0 is found to vary in the east-west direction such that both the east and the west ends of the bar are closer to us with respect to the center of the bar. The maximum observed variation has a statistical significance of more than 7.6 σ with respect to the maximum value of random error. The variation in I0 indicates the presence of warp in the bar of LMC. The warp and the structures seen in the bar indicate that the bar could be a dynamically disturbed structure.

We present the first results from a Chandra survey of the central region of the Small Magellanic Cloud. We detect a total of 122 sources down to a limiting luminosity of ∼ 4.3 × 10erg s(corrected for Galactic NH), which is ∼ 10 times lower than in any previous survey of the SMC. We identify 20 candidate transient sources: eighteen previously known sources in this area which are not detected in ...

The black hole candidate LMC X-3 varies by a factor of four in the soft Xrays on a timescale of 200 or 100days (Cowley et al., 1991). We have monitored LMC X-3 with RXTE in three to four week intervals starting in December 1996, obtaining a large observational database that sheds light on the nature of the long term Xray variability in this source. In this paper we present the results of this m...

Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT We performed SPH simulations to study the nuclear morphology of a barred galaxy NGC 4314. We have constructed the mass models based on the results of a profile decomposition into disk, bulge, and bar components. Our models have three different nuclear structures according to the assumption about the nuclear bar: no nuclear bar, a synchronous nuclear bar and a ...
