Euclid: Data Release 1 (DR1) -- Fornax-7, an ultra-faint companion to the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy? A remote star cluster or dwarf satellite of the Fornax dSph
T. Saifollahi, A. Lançon, A. M. N. Ferguson +165
We report the discovery of an ultra-faint stellar system in the vicinity of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy in Euclid DR1. This system, which we designate Fornax-7, is lo…
Deep VISTA observations of the Magellanic Clouds (VMCDeep)
M. -R. L. Cioni, A. O. Omkumar, N. J. G. Cross +28
The central regions of galaxies challenge observers with a high density of stars, gas and dust. The LMC hosts a dense stellar bar whereas the SMC hosts a dense core, which have elu…
Cluster Ages to Reconstruct the Milky Way Assembly (CARMA) IV. Chrono-dynamics of seven old star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud and the peculiar origin of NGC 1841

In this study, we report conclusive evidence for an ancient star cluster that has been accreted by the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). By leveraging observations from the Hubble Spac…
The VMC survey -- LIII. Data release #7. Complete survey data and data from additional programmes
M. -R. L. Cioni, N. J. G. Cross, V. Ripepi +29
The near-infrared YJKs Visual and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) survey of the Magellanic Clouds (VMC) is complete and there are also data from additional programm…
The YMCA (Yes, Magellanic Clouds Again) survey: probing the outer regions of the Magellanic system with VST
Massimiliano Gatto, Vincenzo Ripepi, Michele Bellazzini +9
The Magellanic Clouds (MCs) are the Milky Way's most massive dwarf satellites. As they also represent the closest pair of galaxies in an ongoing tidal interaction, while simultaneo…
Hubble Space Telescope proper motions of Large Magellanic Cloud star clusters -- I. Catalogues and results for NGC 1850
F. Niederhofer, A. Bellini, V. Kozhurina-Platais +11
We present proper motion (PM) measurements for a sample of 23 massive star clusters within the Large Magellanic Cloud using multi-epoch data from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).…
The VMC Survey -- L. Type II Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds
Teresa Sicignano, Vincenzo Ripepi, Marcella Marconi +9
Type II Cepheids (T2C) are less frequently used counterparts of classical Cepheids which provide the primary calibration of the distance ladder for measuring in the local Uni…
The bar pattern speed of the Large Magellanic Cloud
Ó. Jiménez-Arranz, L. Chemin, M. Romero-Gómez +6
Context: The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) internal kinematics have been studied in unprecedented depth thanks to the excellent quality of the Gaia mission data, revealing the disc'…
A search for star clusters in the outskirts of the Large Magellanic Cloud: indication of clusters in the age gap
M. Gatto, V. Ripepi, M. Bellazzini +7
The YMCA (Yes, Magellanic Clouds Again) and STEP ({The SMC in Time: Evolution of a Prototype interacting late-type dwarf galaxy) projects are deep g,i photometric surveys carried o…
