The Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment. Multiple Cluster Candidates in the Small Magellanic Cloud
ثبت نشده
چکیده
We present the list of potential multiple star clusters from the central part of the SMC. Presented systems were selected from the catalog of star clusters from the SMC. We find 23 suspected cluster pairs and 4 triple systems. The statistical analysis suggests that many of them may constitute physical systems. Size, equatorial coordinates and age of presented clusters are given. Age of clusters which form five pairs and one triple system is coeval suggesting common origin of these objects.

متن کاملThe Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment. Investigating the Influence of Blending on the Cepheid Distance Scale with Cepheids in the Large Magellanic Cloud
We investigate the influence of blending on the Cepheid distance scale. Blending leads to systematically low distances to galaxies observed with HST, and therefore to systematically high estimates of the Hubble constant H0. We select a sample of 43 long-period, large-amplitude Cepheids in the Large Magellanic Cloud, from the catalog recently released by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experim...
متن کاملMACHOs Probe the Shape of the Galaxy Halo ?
We study the prospects for the current microlensing searches, which have recently discovered several candidates, to yield useful information about the flattening of the Galaxy dark matter halo. Models of HI warps and N-body simulations of galaxy formation suggest that disks commonly form in oblate halos with a tilt between the disk and halo symmetry axes. The microlensing optical depth for the ...

متن کاملRed variables in the OGLE-II data base – II. Comparison of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds
We present period–luminosity relations for more than 3200 red variable stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud observed in the second phase of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE-II). Periods of multiply periodic light curve solutions combined with the single-epoch 2MASS JHKS magnitudes, reveal very similar distributions to those for the Large Magellanic Cloud in Paper I. The main fe...
