Surveying the Agents of Galaxy Evolution in the Tidally-Stripped, Low Metallicity Small Magellanic Cloud (SAGE-SMC). I. Overview

Karl D. Gordon, Margaret Meixner, Marilyn Meade +57

The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) provides a unique laboratory for the study of the lifecycle of dust given its low metallicity (~1/5 solar) and relative proximity (~60 kpc). This m…

Surveying the Agents of Galaxy Evolution in the Tidally-Stripped, Low Metallicity Small Magellanic Cloud (SAGE-SMC) II. Cool Evolved Stars

Martha L. Boyer, Sundar Srinivasan, Jacco Th. van Loon +17

We investigate the infrared (IR) properties of cool, evolved stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), including the red giant branch (RGB) stars and the dust-producing red superg…

Fundamental parameters, integrated RGB mass loss and dust production in the Galactic globular cluster 47 Tucanae

Iain McDonald, Martha L. Boyer, Jacco Th. van Loon +12

Fundamental parameters and time-evolution of mass loss are investigated for post-main-sequence stars in the Galactic globular cluster 47 Tucanae (NGC 104). This is accomplished by…

Dust formation in the ejecta of the Type II-P supernova 2004dj

T. Szalai, J. Vinkó, Z. Balog +3

Core-collapse supernovae (CC SNe), especially Type II-Plateau ones, are thought to be important contributors to cosmic dust production. SN 2004dj, one of the closest and brightest…

LABOCA observations of giant molecular clouds in the south west region of the Small Magellanic Cloud

Caroline Bot, Monica Rubio, Francois Boulanger +8

The amount of molecular gas is a key for understanding the future star formation in a galaxy. Because H2 is difficult to observe directly in dense and cold clouds, tracers like CO…

Spitzer Analysis of HII Region Complexes in the Magellanic Clouds: Determining a Suitable Monochromatic Obscured Star Formation Indicator

Brandon Lawton, Karl D. Gordon, Brian Babler +18

HII regions are the birth places of stars, and as such they provide the best measure of current star formation rates (SFRs) in galaxies. The close proximity of the Magellanic Cloud…
