    Rubidium-rich asymptotic giant branch stars in the Magellanic Clouds
    Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars are a principal source of gas and dust input into the interstellar medium, being an important driver of chemical evolution...

    Sensitivity of the Cherenkov Telescope Array to TeV photon emission from the Large Magellanic Cloud
    A deep survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud at ~0.1-100 TeV photon energies with the Cherenkov Telescope Array is planned. We assess the detection prospects...

    SMASH 1: A Very Faint Globular Cluster Disrupting in the Outer Reaches of the LMC?
    We present the discovery of a very faint stellar system, SMASH 1, that is potentially a satellite of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Found within the Survey of the...

    SMASHing the LMC: A Tidally Induced Warp in the Outer LMC and a Large-scale Reddening Map
    We present a study of the three-dimensional (3D) structure of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using ∼2.2 million red clump (RC) stars selected from the Survey...

    SMASHing the LMC: Mapping a Ring-like Stellar Overdensity in the LMC Disk
    We explore the stellar structure of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) disk using data from the Survey of the MAgellanic Stellar History and the Dark Energy...

    Spatial variations in the star formation history of the Large Magellanic Cloud
    Based on the quantitative analysis of a set of wide-field color—magnitude diagrams reaching the old main sequence-turnoffs, we present new LMC star-formation...
