    The Magnetic Field Structure of the LMC 2 Supershell: NGC 2100
    We present UBVRI imaging polarimetry of NGC 2100 and its surrounding environment, which comprise a part of the LMC 2 supershell. The morphology of the observed...

    The Missing Satellites of the Magellanic Clouds? Gaia Proper Motions of the Recently Discovered Ultra-faint Galaxies
    According to LCDM theory, hierarchical evolution occurs on all mass scales, implying that satellites of the Milky Way should also have companions. The recent...

    The NGC 346 massive star census. Nitrogen abundances for apparently single, narrow lined, hydrogen core burning B-type stars
    Previous analyses of two large spectroscopic surveys of early-type stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) have found an excess of nitrogen enriched B-type...

    The origin of the LMC stellar bar: clues from the SFH of the bar and inner disc
    We discuss the origin of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) stellar bar by comparing the star formation histories (SFHs) obtained from deep colour-magnitude...

    The Proper Motion Field of the Small Magellanic Cloud: Kinematic Evidence for Its Tidal Disruption
    We present a new measurement of the systemic proper motion of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), based on an expanded set of 30 fields containing background...

    The Proper Motion of the Magellanic Clouds. I. First Results and Description of the Program
    We present the first results of a ground-based program to determine the proper motion of the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) relative to background quasars (QSO), being...

    The Proper Motion of the Magellanic Clouds. II. New Results for Five Small Magellanic Cloud Fields
    We present new results from a ground-based program to determine the proper motion of the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) relative to background quasars (QSOs), being...

    The Proper-motion Field along the Magellanic Bridge: A New Probe of the LMC–SMC Interaction
    We present the first detailed kinematic analysis of the proper motions (PMs) of stars in the Magellanic Bridge, from both the Gaia Data Release 2 catalog and...

    The R136 star cluster dissected with Hubble Space Telescope/STIS - II. Physical properties of the most massive stars in R136
    We present an optical analysis of 55 members of R136, the central cluster in the Tarantula Nebula of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Our sample was observed with...
