    Evolutionary and pulsation properties of Type II Cepheids
    We discuss the observed pulsation properties of Type II Cepheids (TIICs) in the Galaxy and in the Magellanic Clouds. We found that period (P) distributions...

    Explaining the Mysterious Age Gap of Globular Clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud
    The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) has a unique cluster formation history in that nearly all of its globular clusters were formed either ~13 Gyr ago or less than...

    Exploring the Very Extended Low-surface-brightness Stellar Populations of the Large Magellanic Cloud with SMASH
    We present the detection of very extended stellar populations around the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) out to R ∼ 21°, or ∼18.5 kpc at the LMC distance of 50 kpc...

    Field O stars: formed in situ or as runaways?
    A significant fraction of massive stars in the Milky Way and other galaxies are located far from star clusters and star-forming regions. It is known that some...

    Five young star clusters in the outer region of the Small Magellanic Cloud
    Colour-magnitude diagrams in the Washington system are presented for the first time for five star clusters projected on to the outer region of the Small...

    Formation of Star Clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud and Small Magellanic Cloud. I. Preliminary Results on Cluster Formation from Colliding Gas Clouds
    We demonstrate that single and binary star clusters can be formed during cloud-cloud collisions triggered by the tidal interaction between the Large and Small...

    Gaia DR2 reveals a very massive runaway star ejected from R136
    A previous spectroscopic study identified the very massive O2 III star VFTS 16 in the Tarantula Nebula as a runaway star based on its peculiar line-of-sight...
