Context Detailed studies of intermediate- and low-mass pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars outside the Galaxy have so far been conducted only for small targeted regions harbouring known star formation complexes. The VISTA Survey of the Magellanic Clouds (... Read More about The VMC Survey. XXXII. Pre-main-sequence populations in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

Journal Article
Safi, E., Thompson, S. P., Evans, A., Day, S. J., Murray, C. A., Baker, A. R., …Van Loon, J. T. (2019). X-ray powder diffraction study of the stability of clathrate hydrates in the presence of salts with relevance to the Martian cryosphere. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 245, 304-315. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2018.10.034

Water on the present day Martian surface is thought to exist in two thermally distinct sub-surface reservoirs: as ice in the cryosphere and as groundwater located deeper in the crust. These sub-surface environments are thought to contain saline, rath...

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 478(4), 5017-5036. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty1279

We recover the spatially resolved star formation history across the entire main body and Wing of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), using 14 deep tile images from the VISTA survey of the Magellanic Clouds (VMC) in the YJKs filters. The analysis is per... Read More about The VMC survey – XXXI. The spatially resolved star formation history of the main body of the Small Magellanic Cloud.

XXX. Stellar proper motions in the central parts of the Small Magellanic Cloud (2018)
Journal Article

We present the first spatially resolved map of stellar proper motions within the central (similar to 3.1 x 2.4 kpc) regions of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The data used for this study encompasses four tiles from the ongoing near-infrared VISTA... Read More about XXX. Stellar proper motions in the central parts of the Small Magellanic Cloud.
