Australia Telescope Compact Array Survey of Candidate Ultra-Compact and Buried HII Regions in the Magellanic Clouds
We present a systematic survey for ultracompact H II (UCH II ) regions in the Magellanic Clouds. Understanding the physics of massive star formation (MSF) is a critical astrophysical problem. The study of MSF began in our galaxy with surveys of UCH II regions, but before now this has not been done for other galaxies. We selected candidates based on their Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) c...
متن کاملThe Properties of Early-type Stars in the Magellanic Clouds
The past decade has witnessed impressive progress in our understanding of the physical properties of massive stars in the Magellanic Clouds, and how they compare to their cousins in the Galaxy. I summarise new results in this field, including evidence for reduced mass-loss rates and faster stellar rotational velocities in the Clouds, and their present-day compositions. I also discuss the stella...
متن کاملLarge-scale star formation in the Magellanic Clouds
In this contribution I will present the current status of our project of stellar population analyses and spatial information of both Magellanic Clouds (MCs). The Magellanic Clouds are suitable laboratories and testing ground for theoretical models of star formation. With distance moduli of 18.5 and 18.9 mag for the LMC and SMC, respectively, and small galactic extinction, their stellar content ...
متن کاملThe Master Catalogue of stars towards the Magellanic Clouds⋆ I. Multispectral surveys of the Large Magellanic Cloud
The Master Catalogue of stars towards the Magellanic Clouds (MC2)⋆⋆ is a multi–wavelength reference catalogue. The current paper presents the first results of the MC2 project. We started with a massive cross– identification of the two recently released near–infrared surveys: the DENIS Catalogue towards the Magellanic Clouds (DCMC) with more than 1.3 million sources identified in at least two of...
متن کاملMassive B-type pulsators in low-metallicity environments
Massive B-type pulsators such as β Cep and slowly pulsating B (SPB) stars pulsate due to layers of increased opacity caused by partial ionization. The increased opacity blocks the energy flux to the surface of the stars which causes the layers to rise and the opacity to drop. This cyclical behavior makes the star act as a heat engine and the star will thus pulsate. For β Cep and SPB stars the i...
