DOI: 10.1038/s41550-024-02223-w
Abstract: The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is the Milky Way’s most massive satellite galaxy, which only recently (~2 billion years ago) fell into our Galaxy. As stellar atmospheres preserve the composition of their natal cloud, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa2140
Abstract: We have derived high spatial resolution metallicity maps covering $\sim$42 deg$^2$ across the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) in an attempt to understand its metallicity distribution and gradients up to a radius of $\sim$ 4$^{\circ}$. Using… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa2786
Abstract: We present a map of the total intrinsic reddening across ~34 deg$^{2}$ of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) derived using optical ($ugriz$) and near-infrared (IR; $YJK_{\mathrm{s}}$) spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of background galaxies. The reddening… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stab2271
Abstract: We predict and compare the distributions and properties of hypervelocity stars (HVSs) ejected from the centres of the Milky Way (MW) and the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). In our model, HVSs are ejected at a… read more here.
