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…

In this contribution I will present the current status of our project of stellar population analyses and spatial information of both Magellanic Clouds (MCs). The Magellanic Clouds - especially the LMC with its large size and small depth…

We use the SMASH survey to obtain unprecedented deep photometry reaching down to the oldest main sequence turn-offs in the colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) and quantitatively derive its star formation…

In this paper, we explore the kinematic properties of a sample of 19 young (<1 Gyr) and intermediate-age (1-2.5 Gyr) massive star clusters within the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We analyse the proper motions of the clusters, which have…

The periphery of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) can unlock important information regarding galaxy formation and evolution in interacting systems. Here, we present a detailed study of the extended stellar structure of the SMC using deep…

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) has an extensive H$_{\alpha}$ emission halo that traces an extended, warm ionized component of its interstellar medium. Using the Wisconsin H$_{\alpha}$ Mapper (WHAM) telescope, we present the first…
