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...
Gaia Early Data Release 3. Structure and properties of the Magellanic Clouds
Context. This work is part of the Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium papers published with the Gaia Early Data Release 3 (EDR3). It is one of the...
HaGS: a survey of star forming galaxies in the local Universe
I will present results from a survey of the star formation properties of nearby galaxies, using H alpha narrow-band imaging. The first half of the talk will...
Heavy-element yields and abundances of asymptotic giant branch models with a Small Magellanic Cloud metallicity
We present new theoretical stellar yields and surface abundances for asymptotic giant branch (AGB) models with a metallicity appropriate for stars in the Small...
Hidden supernova remnants in the Large Magellanic Cloud H II complex N44
We have obtained ROSAT PSPC observations of N44, one of the largest H II complexes in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The X-ray emission mostly fails within the...
High velocity clouds around nearby galaxies from THINGS
As a sub-set of activities within the THINGS (The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey) collaboration we have used the HI maps of the complete set of galaxies observed in...
