1. The Rotational Centre of the Large Magellanic Cloud
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC & SMC) are the two largest galaxies orbiting the Milky Way (MW). The interactions between them have affected the evolution of both galaxies. The interactions have affected the galaxies differently depending on how strong they have been. READ MORE

2. Constraints on the High-Energy Gamma-Ray Spectrum of Nearby Star-Forming Galaxies
University essay from Stockholms universitet/FysikumAbstract : The nature of high-energy gamma-ray emission from Star-Forming Galaxies is of utmost importance for understanding both the origin of Cosmic Rays and the high-energy processes that shape galaxy formation. Observations from the gamma-ray telescope Fermi-LAT have detected gamma-ray emission from a handful of nearby Star-Forming Galaxies. READ MORE

3. Testing the multi-epoch luminosity function of asymptotic giant branch stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud with VISTA
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomiAbstract : The physics pertaining to the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase of stellar evolution has been studied for many years. However, the mechanics behind many characteristics displayed at this stage are still not fully understood. READ MORE

4. A Metallicity Snapshot of the Small Magellanic Cloud from Spectra of RR Lyrae Stars
University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk fysik; Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : Using spectra of RR Lyrae stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) a metallicity snapshot from an early epoch in the history of the SMC could possibly be obtained. The SMC, one of our closest neighbours in the Local Group of galaxies, offers the opportunity to study another galaxy close-up. READ MORE
