Scylla at APOGEE: The Impact of Starbursts on the Chemical Evolution of the Magellanic Clouds

Ivanna Escala, Kristen B. W. McQuinn, Sten Hasselquist +11

Owing to their proximity to the Milky Way, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (L/SMC) uniquely probe the evolution of low-mass galaxies undergoing mutual interactions. In this w…
