Astrophysical: Magellanic Clouds

  • Publication
    Planck early results. XVII. Origin of the submillimetre excess dust emission in the Magellanic Clouds
    The integrated spectral energy distributions (SED) of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) appear significantly flatter than...

    Properties of the Be-type stars in 30 Doradus
    The evolutionary status of Be-type stars remains unclear, with both single-star and binary pathways having been proposed. Here, VFTS spectroscopy of 73 Be-type...
  • Publication
    Quantitative spectroscopy of O-stars in the Magellanic Clouds. I - The young open cluster NGC 346 in the SMC
    Results are presented on a non-LTE analysis of high-resolution Cassegrain echelle CCD spectra of the four most luminous stars in the NGC 346 cluster in the SMC...
  • Publication
    Recovering star formation histories: Integrated-light analyses vs. stellar colour-magnitude diagrams
    Context. Accurate star formation histories (SFHs) of galaxies are fundamental for understanding the build-up of their stellar content. However, the most...
  • Publication
    Red supergiant stars in binary systems. I. Identification and characterization in the small magellanic cloud from the UVIT ultraviolet imaging survey
    We aim to identify and characterize binary systems containing red supergiant (RSG) stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) using a newly available ultraviolet...
  • Publication
    Resolved Kinematics of Runaway and Field OB Stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud
    We use Gaia Data Release 2 proper motions of field OB stars from the Runaways and Isolated O-Type Star Spectroscopic Survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC)...
  • Publication
    Revealing the tidal scars of the Small Magellanic Cloud
    Due to their close proximity, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC/SMC) provide natural laboratories for understanding how galaxies form and evolve. With...

    Rotational synchronisation of B-type binaries in 30 Doradus
    The spin evolution of stars in close binary systems can be strongly affected by tides. We investigate the rotational synchronisation of the stellar components...
  • Publication
    Rotational velocities of single and binary O-type stars in the Tarantula Nebula
    Rotation is a key parameter in the evolution of massive stars, affecting their evolution, chemical yields, ionizing photon budget, and final fate. We determined...
