Characterizing the Low-mass Molecular Component in the Northern Small Magellanic Cloud
We present here the first results from a high-resolution survey of the 12CO(J = 1–0) emission across the northern part of the poorly enriched Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), made with the ATNF Mopra telescope. Three molecular complexes detected in the lower resolution NANTEN survey are mapped with a beam FWHM of ∼42′′, to sensitivities of approximately 210 mK per 0.9 km s−1 channel, resolving eac...
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 کاملThe low-mass stellar mass functions of rich, compact clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Context. We use Hubble Space Telescope photometry of six rich, compact star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), with ages ranging from 0.01 to 1.0 Gyr, to derive the clusters’ stellar mass functions (MFs) at their half-mass radii. Aims. The LMC is an ideal environment to study stellar MFs, because it contains a large population of compact clusters at different evolutionary stages. We ...
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...
