The VMC survey - XVII. The proper motion of the Small Magellanic Cloud and of the Milky Way globular cluster 47 Tucanae
Maria-Rosa L. Cioni, Kenji Bekki, Leo Girardi +8
In this study we use multi-epoch near-infrared observations from the VISTA survey of the Magellanic Cloud system (VMC) to measure the proper motion of different stellar populations…
New quasars behind the Magellanic Clouds. Spectroscopic confirmation of near-infrared selected candidates
Valentin D. Ivanov, Maria-Rosa L. Cioni, Kenji Bekki +7
Quasi--stellar objects (quasars) located behind nearby galaxies provide an excellent absolute reference system for astrometric studies, but they are difficult to identify because o…
The VMC survey - XVI. Spatial variation of the cluster-formation activity in the innermost regions of the Large Magellanic Cloud
Andrés E. Piatti, Richard de Grijs, Vincenzo Ripepi +6
We present results based on photometry of star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), distributed throughout the central part of the galaxy's bar and the 30 Do…
Massive Stars in the W33 Giant Molecular Complex
Maria Messineo, J. Simon Clark, Donald F. Figer +9
Rich in HII regions, giant molecular clouds are natural laboratories to study massive stars and sequential star formation. The Galactic star forming complex W33 is located at l=~12…
