PublicationIR images of N159 in the LMC.
The authors obtained near infrared images in J, H, and K filters of the H II region N159 in the LMC with the IR Imager on the 1.5 m telescope of CTIO. Some 50...

PublicationMapping atomic and diffuse interstellar band absorption across the Magellanic Clouds and the Milky Way
Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) trace warm neutral and weakly ionized diffuse interstellar medium (ISM). Here we present a dedicated, high signal-to-noise...

PublicationMapping the core of the Tarantula Nebula with VLT-MUSE. II. The spectroscopic Hertzsprung-Russell diagram of OB stars in NGC 2070
We present the spectroscopic analysis of 333 OB-type stars extracted from VLT-MUSE observations of the central 30 × 30 pc of NGC 2070 in the Tarantula Nebula on...

PublicationMetallicities, Age-Metallicity Relationships, and Kinematics of Red Giant Branch Stars in the Outer Disk of the Large Magellanic Cloud
The outer disk of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is studied in order to unveil clues about its formation and evolution. Complementing our previous studies in...

PublicationMetallicity dependence of turbulent pressure and macroturbulence in stellar envelopes
Macroturbulence, introduced as a fudge to reproduce the width and shape of stellar absorption lines, reflects gas motions in stellar atmospheres. While in cool...

PublicationMicrolensing events of the LMC are better explained by stars within the LMC than by MACHOs
The recently reported microlensing events of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) have caused much excitement, and have been interpreted as due to 'dark objects'...

TalkMicrolensing-based search for extragalactic MACHOs
In this talk we first make a review on gravitational lensing and microlensing as an introduction, followed by a discussion on the most recent work of our group...

PublicationMultiple stellar populations in Magellanic Cloud clusters - III. The first evidence of an extended main sequence turn-off in a young cluster: NGC 1856
Recent studies have shown that the extended main-sequence turn-off (eMSTO) is a common feature of intermediate-age star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds (MCs)...
