Spectroscopic studies of Wolf-Rayet stars. IV - Optical spectrophotometry of the emission lines in galactic and large Magellanic Cloud stars

Images with subarcsec spatial resolution in the light of near-infrared atomic (Bry) and molecular hydrogen H2 (S(1) v=1-0) emission lines were obtained for some extended, pointlike objects in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) for the first time. We used the Max-Planck-Institut für extraterrestrische Physik (MPE) near-infrared array spectrometer FAST (image scale 0.8”/pix, spectral resolving power 950) at the ESO/MPI 2.2m telescope, La Silla. We present some results on the 30-Dor complex and N159A5.

Accretion Rates

AbstractAt distances of ~50 kpc and ~60 kpc for the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) respectively the Magellanic Clouds present us with a unique opportunity to study star formation in environments outside our own galaxy. Through Spitzer and Herschel photometry and spectroscopy, samples of Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) have been selected and spectroscpically confirmed in the Magellanic Clouds. Here we present some of the key results of our SINFONI K-band observations towards massive YSOs in the Magellanic Clouds. We resolve a number of Spitzer sources into multiple, previously unresolved, components and our analysis of emission lines suggest higher accretion rates and different disc properties compared with massive YSOs in the Milky Way.

The Relationship

AbstractThe Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) has been surveyed in optical emission lines, X-rays, radio continuum, HI, and CO lines. These surveys provide views of the interstellar medium (ISM) in the LMC of unprecedented clarity, allowing us to study astrophysical processes and to examine the relationship among the different phases of the ISM. Multi-wavelength images are used to illustrate the physical structures of supernova remnants, superbubbles, and supergiant shells, as well as the global interstellar structure of the LMC.
