    Red supergiant stars in binary systems: II. Confirmation of B-type companions of red supergiants in the Small Magellanic Cloud using Hubble ultraviolet spectroscopy
    Red supergiant (RSG) stars represent the final evolutionary phase of the majority of massive stars and hold a unique role in testing the physics of stellar...

    Resolved Kinematics of Runaway and Field OB Stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud
    We use Gaia Data Release 2 proper motions of field OB stars from the Runaways and Isolated O-Type Star Spectroscopic Survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC)...

    Revealing the tidal scars of the Small Magellanic Cloud
    Due to their close proximity, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC/SMC) provide natural laboratories for understanding how galaxies form and evolve. With...

    Rotational synchronisation of B-type binaries in 30 Doradus
    The spin evolution of stars in close binary systems can be strongly affected by tides. We investigate the rotational synchronisation of the stellar components...

    Rotational velocities of single and binary O-type stars in the Tarantula Nebula
    Rotation is a key parameter in the evolution of massive stars, affecting their evolution, chemical yields, ionizing photon budget, and final fate. We determined...

    Rubidium-rich asymptotic giant branch stars in the Magellanic Clouds
    Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars are a principal source of gas and dust input into the interstellar medium, being an important driver of chemical evolution...

    Sailing under the Magellanic Clouds: a DECam view of the Carina dwarf
    We present deep optical photometry from the DECam imager on the 4 m Blanco telescope of over 12 deg2 around the Carina dwarf spheroidal, with complete coverage...

    Sensitivity of the Cherenkov Telescope Array to TeV photon emission from the Large Magellanic Cloud
    A deep survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud at ~0.1-100 TeV photon energies with the Cherenkov Telescope Array is planned. We assess the detection prospects...

    Seven young star clusters in the inner region of the Small Magellanic Cloud
    We present CCD photometry in the Washington system C and T1 passbands down to T1 ~ 22 in the fields of L35, L45, L49, L50, L62, L63 and L85, seven poorly...
