Journal Article
Sewiło, M., Indebetouw, R., Charnley, S. B., Zahorecz, S., Oliveira, J. M., Van Loon, J. T., …Schilke, P. (2018). The Detection of Hot Cores and Complex Organic Molecules in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Astrophysical Journal Letters, 853(2), L19 -?. https://doi.org/10.3847/2041-8213/aaa079

We report the first extragalactic detection of the complex organic molecules (COMs) dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) and methyl formate (CH3OCHO) with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). These COMs, together with their parent species met... Read More about The Detection of Hot Cores and Complex Organic Molecules in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

First Results from the Herschel and ALMA Spectroscopic Surveys of the SMC: The Relationship between [C ii ]-bright Gas and CO-bright Gas at Low Metallicity (2018)

The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) provides the only laboratory to study the structure of molecular gas at high resolution and low metallicity. We present results from the Herschel Spectroscopic Survey of the SMC (HS3), which mapped the key far-IR cool...

An excess of massive stars in the local 30 Doradus starburst (2018)
Journal Article
Schneider, F. R. N., Sana, H., Evans, C. J., Bestenlehner, J. M., Castro, N., Fossati, L., …Norman, C. (2018). An excess of massive stars in the local 30 Doradus starburst. Science, 359(6371), 69-71. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aan0106

The 30 Doradus star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud is a nearby analog of large star-formation events in the distant universe. We determined the recent formation history and the initial mass function (IMF) of massive stars in 30 Doradus... Read More about An excess of massive stars in the local 30 Doradus starburst.

The VMC survey - XXVI. Structure of the Small Magellanic Cloud from RR Lyrae stars (2018)
Journal Article

We present results from the analysis of 2997 fundamental mode RR Lyrae variables located in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). For these objects, near-infrared time series photometry from the VISTA survey of the Magellanic Clouds system (VMC) and visu... Read More about The VMC survey - XXVI.

A dearth of OH/IR stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (2018)
Journal Article
Goldman, S. R., Van Loon, J. T., Gómez, J. F., Green, J. A., Zijlstra, A. A., Nanni, A., …Oliveira, J. M. (2018). A dearth of OH/IR stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 473(3), 3835-3853. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx2601

We present the results of targeted observations and a survey of 1612-, 1665-, and 1667-MHz circumstellar OH maser emission from asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and red supergiants (RSGs) in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), using the Parkes and A...
