The VMC survey XXXVIII. Proper motion of the Magellanic Bridge (2020)
Journal Article
Van Loon, & Oliveira. (2020). The VMC survey XXXVIII. Proper motion of the Magellanic Bridge. Astronomy & Astrophysics, https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202037478

Context. The Magellanic Clouds are a nearby pair of interacting dwarf galaxies and satellites of the Milky Way. Studying their kinematic properties is essential to understanding their origin and dynamical evolution. They have prominent tidal features... Read More about The VMC survey XXXVIII.

The intrinsic reddening of the Magellanic Clouds as traced by background galaxies – II. The Small Magellanic Cloud (2020)
Journal Article
Bell, C. P. M., Cioni, M. L., Wright, A. H., Rubele, S., Nidever, D. L., Tatton, B. L., …Vivas, A. K. (2020). The intrinsic reddening of the Magellanic Clouds as traced by background galaxies – II. The Small Magellanic Cloud. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 499(1), 993 -1004. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa2786

We present a map of the total intrinsic reddening across ? 34 deg2 of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) derived using optical (ugriz) and near-infrared (IR; YJKs) spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of background galaxies. The reddening map is create... Read More about The intrinsic reddening of the Magellanic Clouds as traced by background galaxies – II. The Small Magellanic Cloud.

The VMC survey – XXXIX: Mapping metallicity trends in the Small Magellanic Cloud using near-infrared passbands (2020)
Journal Article
Choudhury, S., de Grijs, R., Rubele, S., Bekki, K., Cioni, M. L., Ivanov, V. D., …Ripepi, V. (2020). The VMC survey – XXXIX: Mapping metallicity trends in the Small Magellanic Cloud using near-infrared passbands. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 497(3), 3746-3760. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa2140

We have derived high spatial resolution metallicity maps covering ~42 deg2 across the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) in an attempt to understand its metallicity distribution and gradients up to a radius of ~ 4?. Using the near-infrared VISTA Survey of... Read More about The VMC survey – XXXIX: Mapping metallicity trends in the Small Magellanic Cloud using near-infrared passbands.

The VMC Survey - XXXVII. Pulsation periods of dust-enshrouded AGB stars in the Magellanic Clouds (2020)
Journal Article
Groenewegen, M. A. T., Nanni, A., Cioni, M. L., Girardi, L., de Grijs, R., Ivanov, V. D., …Van Loon, J. T. (2020). The VMC Survey - XXXVII. Pulsation periods of dust-enshrouded AGB stars in the Magellanic Clouds. Astronomy and Astrophysics, 636, Article A48. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201937271

Context. Variability is a key property of stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). Their pulsation period is related to the luminosity and mass-loss rate of the star. Long-period variables (LPVs) and Mira variables are the most prominent of all ty... Read More about The VMC Survey - XXXVII. Pulsation periods of dust-enshrouded AGB stars in the Magellanic Clouds.

The VMC survey – XXXVI. Young stellar variability in the Large Magellanic Cloud (2020)
Journal Article
Zivkov, V., Oliveira, J. M., Petr-Gotzens, M. G., Rubele, S., Cioni, M. L., Van Loon, J. T., …Sun, N. (2020). The VMC survey – XXXVI. Young stellar variability in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 494(1), 458 -486. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa626

Studies of young stellar objects (YSOs) in the Galaxy have found that a significant fraction exhibits photometric variability. However, no systematic investigation has been conducted on the variability of extragalactic YSOs. Here we present the first... Read More about The VMC survey – XXXVI.
