The age-metallicity relationship in the Small Magellanic Cloud periphery
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-05)
We present results from Washington CT1 photometry for 11 star fields located in the western outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), which cover angular distances to its centre from 2° up to 13° (≈2.2-13.8 kpc). The ...
Stellar cluster candidates discovered in the Magellanic System
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2017-01)
We address the currently exciting issue of the presence of stellar clusters in the periphery of the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) and beyond by making use of a wealth of wide-field high-quality images released in advance from ...
Towards a comprehensive knowledge of the star cluster population in the Small Magellanic Cloud
(Oxford University Press, 2018-07)
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) has recently been found to harbour an increase of more than 200 per cent in its known cluster population. Here, we provide solid evidence that this unprecedented number of clusters could ...
Mass distribution and structural parameters of Small Magellanic Cloud star clusters
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2014-01)
In this work, we estimate, for the first time, the total masses and mass function (MF) slopes of a sample of 29 young and intermediate-age Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) clusters from CCD Washington photometry. We also derive ...
Caracterización de tres cúmulos estelares de la Nube Menor de Magallanes
(Asociación Argentina de Astronomía, 2015)
El presente trabajo representa la continuación de un estudio sistemático de cúmulos estelares de las Nubes de Magallanes observados con el telescopio de 4 m del Observatorio Interamericano de Cerro Tololo (Chile), usando ...
Bruck 88: a young star cluster with an old age resemblance in the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud
(Oxford University Press, 2014-10)
We present spectroscopic and photometric results for the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) cluster Bruck 88. From the comparison of the cluster integrated spectrum with template cluster spectra, we found that the Milky Way ...
The VMC survey - XV. The Small Magellanic Cloud-Bridge connection history as traced by their star cluster populations
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-04)
We present results based on YJKs photometry of star clusters located in the outermost, eastern region of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). We analysed a total of 51 catalogued clusters whose colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs), ...
A distance determination to the small Magellanic cloud with an accuracy of better than two percent based on late-type eclipsing binary stars
(IOP Publishing, 2020)
We present a new study of late-type eclipsing binary stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) undertaken with the aim of improving the distance determination to this important galaxy. A sample of 10 new detached, double-lined ...
Evidence of globular cluster abundance anomalies in the SMC intermediate-age cluster Kron 3
