3D kinematics of SMC star clusters: residual velocities disentangle kinematically perturbed clusters
Denis M. F. Illesca, Andrés E. Piatti, MatÃas Chiarpotti +1
Understanding the kinematic behaviour of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) remains a challenge addressed by many authors using diverse approaches. Over time, increasing observationa…
Probing the farthest star clusters to the Small Magellanic Cloud
A. E. Piatti, D. M. F. Illesca, M. Chiarpotti +1
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) has been tidally shaped by the interaction with the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The scope of such an interaction has recently been studied from d…
Spectroscopic Confirmation: Fast rotators in the young clusters NGC 1856 and NGC 1953
Paul I. Cristofari, Andrea K. Dupree, Antonino P. Milone +2
We present the results of a spectroscopic investigation of two Large Magellanic Cloud globular clusters, NGC 1953 and NGC 1856. Both clusters have similar ages (250 and 300 Myr, re…
Astrophysical properties of star clusters projected toward tidally perturbed SMC regions
Denis M. F. Illesca, Andrés E. Piatti, MatÃas Chiarpotti +1
We report on the astrophysical properties of a sample of star clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). They have been selected with the aim of looking for the connection betwe…
