On the origin of double main-sequence turn-offs in star clusters of the Magellanic Clouds
K. Bekki, A. D. Mackey
Recent observational studies of intermediate-age star clusters (SCs) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) have reported that a significant number of these objects show double main-s…
Formation of the off-center bar in the Large Magellanic Cloud: A collision with a dark satellite ?
Kenji Bekki
Recent observations on structural properties of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) based on the Deep Near-Infrared Southern Sky Survey (DENIS) and Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) h…
A possible common halo of the Magellanic Clouds
Kenji Bekki
Recent observational and theoretical studies on the three-dimensional (3D) space motions of the Large and the Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC, respectively) have strongly sugg…
Self-consistent simulations of star cluster formation from gas clouds under the influence of galaxy-scale tidal fields
Jarrod R. Hurley, Kenji Bekki
We present the first results of a project aimed at following the formation and long-term dynamical evolution of star clusters within the potential of a host galaxy. Here we focus o…
Formation of a giant HI bridge between M31 and M33 from their tidal interaction
Kenji Bekki
Recent observations have discovered a giant HI bridge that appears to connect between the outer halo regions of M31 and M33. We propose that this HI bridge can be formed as a resul…
The total mass and dark halo properties of the Small Magellanic Cloud
Kenji Bekki, Snezana Stanimirovic
We discuss the total mass and dark halo properties of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) for reasonable -band stellar-to-mass-to-light ratios () based on the…
