The VMC Survey -- XL. Three-dimensional structure of the Small Magellanic Cloud as derived from red clump stars
B. L. Tatton, J. Th. van Loon, M. -R. L. Cioni +12
Galaxy interactions distort the distribution of baryonic matter and can affect star formation. The nearby Magellanic Clouds are a prime example of an ongoing galaxy interaction pro…
Gaia Early Data Release 3: The astrometric solution
L. Lindegren, S. A. Klioner, J. Hernández +94
Gaia Early Data Release 3 (Gaia EDR3) contains results for 1.812 billion sources in the magnitude range G = 3 to 21 based on observations collected by the European Space Agency Gai…
Gaia Early Data Release 3: The Gaia Catalogue of Nearby Stars
Gaia Collaboration, R. L. Smart, L. M. Sarro +420
We produce a clean and well-characterised catalogue of objects within 100\,pc of the Sun from the \G\ Early Data Release 3. We characterise the catalogue through comparisons to the…
The Second Data Release of the Survey of the MAgellanic Stellar History (SMASH)
David L. Nidever, Knut Olsen, Yumi Choi +32
The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) are the largest satellite galaxies of the Milky Way and close enough to allow for a detailed exploration of their structure and…
Gaia view of a stellar sub-structure in front of the Small Magellanic Cloud
Abinaya O. Omkumar, Smitha Subramanian, Florian Niederhofer +6
Recent observational studies identified a foreground stellar sub-structure traced by red clump (RC) stars (~ 12 kpc in front of the main body) in the eastern regions of the Small M…
The intrinsic reddening of the Magellanic Clouds as traced by background galaxies -- II. The Small Magellanic Cloud
Cameron P. M. Bell, Maria-Rosa L. Cioni, A. H. Wright +23
We present a map of the total intrinsic reddening across ~34 deg of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) derived using optical () and near-infrared (IR; …
MOONS Surveys of the Milky Way and its Satellites
O. A. Gonzalez, A. Mucciarelli, L. Origlia +37
The study of resolved stellar populations in the Milky Way and other Local Group galaxies can provide us with a fossil record of their chemo-dynamical and star-formation histories…
Constraining the thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch phase with resolved stellar populations in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Giada Pastorelli, Paola Marigo, Léo Girardi +18
Reliable models of the thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) phase are of critical importance across astrophysics, including our interpretation of the spectral energy…
SMASHing the low surface brightness SMC
Pol Massana, Noelia E. D. Noël, David L. Nidever +22
The periphery of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) can unlock important information regarding galaxy formation and evolution in interacting systems. Here, we present a detailed stud…
The VMC survey -- XXXIX: Mapping metallicity trends in the Small Magellanic Cloud using near-infrared passbands
Samyaday Choudhury, Richard de Grijs, Stefano Rubele +7
We have derived high spatial resolution metallicity maps covering 42 deg across the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) in an attempt to understand its metallicity distribution…
The Large Magellanic Cloud stellar content with SMASH: I. Assessing the stability of the Magellanic spiral arms
T. Ruiz-Lara, C. Gallart, M. Monelli +23
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is the closest and most studied example of an irregular galaxy. Among its principal defining morphological features, its off-centred bar and single…
The VMC survey -- XXXVIII. Proper motion of the Magellanic Bridge
Thomas Schmidt, Maria-Rosa L. Cioni, Florian Niederhofer +14
The Magellanic Clouds are a nearby pair of interacting dwarf galaxies and satellites of the Milky Way. Studying their kinematic properties is essential to understanding their origi…
The VMC Survey -- XXXVII. Pulsation periods of dust enshrouded AGB stars in the Magellanic Clouds
M. A. T. Groenewegen, A. Nanni, M. -R. L. Cioni +9
(abridged)Variability is a key property of stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). Their pulsation period is related to the luminosity and mass-loss rate of the star. The long-…
The VMC survey -- XXXVI. Young stellar variability in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Viktor Zivkov, Joana M. Oliveira, Monika G. Petr-Gotzens +11
Studies of young stellar objects (YSOs) in the Galaxy have found that a significant fraction exhibit photometric variability. However, no systematic investigation has been conducte…
VMC J021140.41-735320.4 -- an extremely red L dwarf candidate member of the AB Doradus young moving group
Ralf-Dieter Scholz, Lydia Pangsy, Maria-Rosa L. Cioni
We report the discovery of VMC J021140.41-735320.4, a faint ( mag) and extremely red ( mag, mag, mag) high proper motion object in front…
Probabilistic fibre-to-target assignment algorithm for multi-object spectroscopic surveys
E. Tempel, P. Norberg, T. Tuvikene +22
Context. Several new multi-object spectrographs are currently planned or under construction that are capable of observing thousands of Galactic and extragalactic objects simultaneo…
