    The Large Magellanic Cloud stellar content with SMASH. I. Assessing the stability of the Magellanic spiral arms
    The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is the closest and most studied example of an irregular galaxy. Among its principal defining morphological features, its off...

    The Lazy Giants: APOGEE Abundances Reveal Low Star Formation Efficiencies in the Magellanic Clouds
    We report the first APOGEE metallicities and α-element abundances measured for 3600 red giant stars spanning a large radial range of both the Large (LMC) and...

    The long bar as seen by the VVV survey. I. Colour-magnitude diagrams
    Context. The VISTA Variable Survey (VVV) is able to map the Galaxy at l ≤ 0° with an unpaired depth (at least 3 mag deeper than 2MASS), opening new...

    The long bar as seen by the VVV Survey. II. Star counts
    Context. There is still some debate about the presence and the morphological properties of the long bar in the inner Galaxy. Aims: We investigate the...

    The long Galactic bar as seen by UKIDSS Galactic plane survey
    Context: Over the past decade there have been a series of results supporting the hypothesis of the existence of a long thin bar in the Milky Way with a half...

    The Magellanic Inter-Cloud Project (MAGIC) III: first spectroscopic evidence of a dwarf stripping a dwarf
    The Magellanic Bridge (MB) is a gaseous stream that links the Large (LMC) and Small (SMC) Magellanic Clouds. Current simulations suggest that the MB forms from...

    The MAGellanic Inter-Cloud Project (MAGIC). I. Evidence for Intermediate-age Stellar Populations in between the Magellanic Clouds
    The origin of the gas in between the Magellanic Clouds (MCs)—known as the "Magellanic Bridge" (MB)—is puzzling. Numerical simulations suggest that the MB formed...

    The Magellanic System: the puzzle of the leading gas stream
    The Magellanic Clouds (MCs) are the most massive gas-bearing systems falling into the Galaxy at the present epoch. They show clear signs of interaction...

    The magnitude difference between the main sequence turn off and the red giant branch bump in Galactic globular clusters
    We present new measurements of the magnitude of the main sequence turn off and the red giant branch bump in the luminosity function of a sample of Galactic...
