We present the initial results from the Spitzer Survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud (S3MC), which imaged the star-forming body of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) in all seven MIPS and IRAC wavebands. We find that the F_8/F_24 ratio (an…

Observational studies have identified several sub-structures in different regions of the Magellanic Clouds, the nearest pair of interacting dwarf satellites of the Milky Way. By studying the metallicity of the sources in these…

We have searched for near-infrared stellar counterparts of IRAS point sources in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), in J and K-bands. This resulted in the detection of 21 counterparts, of which 19 are new discoveries. Using colour-magnitude…

We calculated theoretical evolutionary sequences of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, including formation and evolution of dust grains in their circumstellar envelope. By considering stellar populations of the Large Magellanic Cloud…
