AN ULTRA-FAINT GALAXY CANDIDATE DISCOVERED in EARLY DATA from the MAGELLANIC SATELLITES SURVEY
(2016-12-10)
We report a new ultra-faint stellar system found in Dark Energy Camera data from the first observing run of the Magellanic Satellites Survey (MagLiteS). MagLiteS J0644-5953 (Pictor II or Pic II) is a low surface brightness ...
SMASH 1 : A VERY FAINT GLOBULAR CLUSTER DISRUPTING in the OUTER REACHES of the LMC?
(2016-10-10)
We present the discovery of a very faint stellar system, SMASH 1, that is potentially a satellite of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Found within the Survey of the Magellanic Stellar History (SMASH), SMASH 1 is a compact ...
The VMC survey - XX. Identification of new Cepheids in the Small Magellanic Cloud
(2016-06-21)
We present Ks-band light curves for 299 Cepheids in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) of which 288 are new discoveries that we have identified using multi-epoch near-infrared photometry obtained by the VISTA survey of the ...
THE VMC SURVEY. XIX. CLASSICAL CEPHEIDS in the SMALL MAGELLANIC CLOUD
(2016-06-01)
The VISTA near-infrared YJK s survey of the Magellanic Clouds System (VMC) is collecting deep K s-band time-series photometry of pulsating variable stars hosted by the two Magellanic Clouds and their connecting Bridge. In ...
The VMC survey - XII : Star cluster candidates in the large magellanic cloud
(2014-10)
In this work we analyse colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of catalogued star clusters located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), from a YJKs photometric data set obtained by the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for ...
