    • The Magellanic Clouds as a Template for the Study of Stellar Populations and Galaxy Interactions 

      Cioni, M-R.L.; Bekki, K.; Clementini, G.; de Blok, W.J.G.; Emerson, J.P.; Evans, Chris J.; de Grijs, R.; Gibson, B. K.; Girardi, L.; Groenewegen, M.A.T.; Ivanov, V.D.; Leisy, P.; Marconi, M.; Mastropietro, C.; Moore, B.; Naylor, T.; Oliveira, J.M.; Ripepi, V.; van Loon, J. Th; Wilkinson, Mark; Wood, P.R. (2008-01)
      The Magellanic System represents one of the best places to study the formation and evolution of galaxies. Photometric surveys of various depths, areas and wavelengths have had a significant impact on our understanding of ...

A.; Vreeswijk, P.; Woudt, P. A. (2020-09-22)
      We present the results of three commissioning HI observations obtained with the MeerKAT radio telescope. These observations make up part of the preparation for the forthcoming MHONGOOSE nearby galaxy survey, which is a ...

    • Metallicity gradients in disks : Do galaxies form inside-out? 

      Pilkington, K.; Few, C. G.; Gibson, B. K.; Calura, F.; Michel-Dansac, L.; Thacker, R. J.; Molla, M.; Matteucci, F.; Rahimi, A.; Kawata, D.; Kobayashi, C.; Brook, C. B.; Stinson, G. S.; Couchman, H. M. P.; Bailin, J.; Wadsley, J. (2012-04)
      Aims. We examine radial and vertical metallicity gradients using a suite of disk galaxy hydrodynamical simulations, supplemented with two classic chemical evolution approaches. We determine the rate of change of gradient ...

    • The VMC survey - V : First results for classical Cepheids 

      Ripepi, V.; Moretti, M.I.; Marconi, M.; Clementini, G.; Cioni, M-R.L.; Marquette, J-B.; Girardi, L.; Rubele, S.; Groenewegen, M.A.T.; de Grijs, R.; Gibson, B. K.; Oliveira, J.M.; van Loon, J. Th; Emerson, J.P. (2012-08)
      The VISTA Magellanic Cloud (VMC; PI: M.-R. L. Cioni) survey is collecting deep Ks-band time series photometry of the pulsating variable stars hosted by the system formed by the two Magellanic Clouds (MCs) and the bridge ...

    • The VMC survey VI : Quasars behind the Magellanic system 

      Cioni, M-R.L.; Kamath, D.; Wood, P.R.; Rubele, S.; Van Loon, J.T.; Emerson, J.P.; Gibson, B. K.; Groenewegen, M.A.T.; Ivanov, V.D.; Miszalski, B.; Ripepi, V. (2013-01)
      Context. The number and spatial distribution of confirmed quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) behind the Magellanic system is limited. This undermines their use as astrometric reference objects for different types of studies. ...
