We analyze the velocity residuals of 551 carbon stars relative to a rotating-disk model of the inner $\sim 70 \rm deg^2$ of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We find that the great majority of the stars in this sample are best fit as being…

We present proper motion (PM) measurements within the central region of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using near-infrared data from the VISTA survey of the Magellanic Cloud system (VMC). This work encompasses 18 VMC tiles covering a…

We present an analysis of the stellar kinematics of the Large Magellanic Cloud based on ~5900 new and existing velocities of massive red supergiants, oxygen-rich and carbon-rich AGB stars, and other giants. After correcting the…

The Magellanic Clouds are nearby dwarf irregular galaxies whose morphologies show different properties when traced by different stellar populations, making them an important laboratory for studying galaxy morphologies. We study the…

We present identifications and kinematic analysis of 7,426 massive ($\mathrm{\geq}8M_{\odot}$) stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), using Gaia DR3 data. We used Gaia ($G_\mathrm{BP}-G_\mathrm{RP}$, $G$) color-magnitude diagram to…
