Young stellar populations in the Magellanic Clouds
A. Vallenari
TL;DR
This paper investigates young stellar populations in the Magellanic Clouds, highlighting recent discoveries of pre-main sequence stars and evidence of prolonged star formation activity in the region.
Contribution
It reports the identification of pre-main sequence candidates in the LMC's N 11 nebula using HST data and compares observations with stellar evolution models.
Findings
Discovery of pre-main sequence candidates in N 11
Evidence of star formation activity spanning hundreds of thousands to millions of years
Presence of YSO objects indicating ongoing star formation
Abstract
We discuss the young population of stars and clusters in the Magellanic Clouds. We present the discovery of pre-main sequence candidates in the nebula N~11 in the Large Magellanic Clouds using HST ACS photometry. The comparison of the Colour-Magnitude diagram with pre-main sequence tracks and the presence of Spitzer objects YSO I and II suggest that the star formation has been active for a long period in the region, from a few yrs to several Myr ago
