The detection of an older population in the Magellanic Bridge
Gemma Bagheri, Maria-Rosa Cioni, Ralf Napiwotzki
The Magellanic system comprises the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), and the less frequently observed Magellanic Bridge and Magellanic Stream. The Br…
Overview of The SDSS-V Magellanic Genesis Survey
David L. Nidever, Danny Horta, Steven R. Majewski +14
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-V (SDSS-V) Magellanic Genesis survey is a spectroscopic program designed to map the kinematic and chemical structure of the Magellanic Clouds using APO…
AGB Stars in WLM
Benjamin Tatton, Maria-Rosa Cioni, Mike Irwin
We investigate the star formation history and metallicity of the Local Group irregular dwarf galaxy WLM using wide-field JHK near-infrared imaging, spanning a region of approximate…
VMC proper motions of the Magellanic Bridge
Thomas Schmidt, Maria-Rosa Cioni, Florian Niederhofer +2
Dwarf galaxies enable us to study the early phases of galaxy evolution and are key to many open questions about the hierarchical structure of the Universe. The Large and Small Mage…
Mapping the Periphery and Variability of the Magellanic Clouds
Knut Olsen, Paula Szkody, Maria-Rosa Cioni +10
We propose a combination of a modified Wide-Fast-Deep survey, a mini-survey of the South Celestial Pole, and a Deep Drilling-style survey to produce a 3-D map of the Magellanic Sys…
Embedded Clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud Using the VISTA Magellanic Clouds Survey
Krista Romita, Elizabeth Lada, Maria-Rosa Cioni
We present initial results of the first large scale survey of embedded star clusters in molecular clouds in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using near-infrared (NIR) imaging from…
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) Science White Paper
Vincenzo Mainieri, Richard I. Anderson, Jarle Brinchmann +214
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is proposed as a new facility dedicated to the efficient delivery of spectroscopic surveys. This white paper summarises the initial con…
The VMC Survey -- LIV. Anomalous Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds Period-Luminosity relations in the near-infrared bands
Teresa Sicignano, Vincenzo Ripepi, Marina Rejkuba +12
Anomalous Cepheids (ACs) are less studied metal-poor pulsating stars ([Fe/H]<-1.5) compared to Classical Cepheids (CCs) and RR Lyrae stars. They follow distinct Period-Luminosity (…
