Radio Survey

AbstractA radio survey at a frequency of 843 MHz of 36 square degrees containing the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) has been made with the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST). The angular resolution is around 45 arcsec and the rms noise is about 1 mJy per beam. The radio image of the region is presented showing over a thousand sources with a variety of angular sizes from unresolved to 10 arcmin. Most of the sources are presumed to be background objects but about 70 of the more extended sources are H II regions or supernova remnants within the SMC.

Mosaic Images

We present results on the SMC from the first full season of the Michigan/CTIO Magellanic Cloud Emission-Line Survey, being carried out from CTIO. Images are being obtained in Hα, [S II] λλ 6717, 6731, and [O III] λ 5007, plus red and green continuum bands for star subtraction. Data from the 1996–97 season have been assembled into large mosaic images which reveal the rich variety of nebulosity in the SMC in unprecedented detail. These are providing definitive samples of the active, occasionally violent, ISM on scales including superbubbles, wind-blown bubbles, supernova remnants, H II regions, and planetary nebulae.

The Past

A vast amount of observational data concerning the structure and kinematics of the Magellanic Clouds is now available. Many basic quantities (e.g. distances and geometry) are, however, not yet sufficiently well determined. Interactions between the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and our Galaxy have dominated the evolution of the Clouds, causing bursts of star formation which, together with stochastic self-propagating star formation, produced the observed structures. In the youngest generation in the LMC it is seen as an intricate pattern imitating a fragmented spiral structure. In the SMC much of the fragmentation is along the line of sight complicating the reconstruction of its history. The violent events in the past are also recognizable in complex velocity patterns which make the analysis of the kinematics of the Clouds difficult.

Abstract We have demonstrated the advantage of combining multi-wavelength observations, from the ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared, to study Kron 3, a massive star cluster in the Small Magellanic Cloud. We have estimated the radius of the cluster Kron 3 to be 2${_{.}^{\prime}}$0 and for the first time, we report the identification of NUV-bright red clump (RC) stars and the extension of the RC in colour and magnitude in the NUV versus (NUV−optical) colour-magnitude diagram (CMD). We found that extension of the RC is an intrinsic property of the cluster and it is not due to contamination of field stars or differential reddening across the field. We studied the spectral energy distribution of the RC stars, and estimated a small range in temperature ∼5000–5500 K, luminosity ∼60–90 L⊙ and radius ∼8.0–11.0 R⊙ supporting their RC nature. The range of UV magnitudes amongst the RC stars (∼23.3 to 24.8 mag) is likely caused by the combined effects of variable mass loss, variation in initial helium abundance (Yini = 0.23 to 0.28), and a small variation in age (6.5-7.5 Gyr) and metallicity ([Fe/H] = −1.5 to −1.3). Spectroscopic follow-up observations of RC stars in Kron 3 are necessary to confirm the cause of the extended RC.
