Notes: Brand New Item. Not shipped to AK, HI, APO, FPO, AE.
The proceedings of the Second European Meeting on NewAspects of MagellanicCloud Research review the most recentprogress in the study of the LMC and SMC. The activitieswithin the ground-based ESO key programme CoordinatedInvestigations of Selected Regions in the MagellanicClouds , as well as new exciting observations from spacemissions (ROSAT, IUE, ISO, IRAS) result in a more profoundinsightinto the structure, kinematics, populations (stars,clusters, interstellar medium), and the chemical compositionand evolution of the Magellanic Cloud system.The book addresses researchers and graduate students inastrophysics.The stellar populations in the Magellanic Clouds. An overview.- Kinematics in the Small Magellanic Cloud.- Star formation history in the keyprogram Regions C and E in the LMC.- New Coravel radial velocities, structure and kinematics of the Magellanic Clouds.- The morphology of the large magellanic cloud and its surroundings.- The distance to the large magellanic cloud from observations of SN1987A.- CO in the Large Magellanic Cloud a SEST key project.- Overview of CO SEST observations: Small Magellanic Cloud.- Ionized carbon [CII] in the Magellanic Clouds.- The Magellanic Clouds as seen by IRAS.- Deep infrared images of the Small Magellanic Cloud and comparison with the distribution of ultraviolet emission.- Magellanic cloud research with ISO.- ROSAT observations of the magellanic clouds.- ROSAT survey view of the SMC.- Deep ROSAT observations of the northern part of the LMC containing the X-ray binary LMC X-4.- H alpha survey of the small magellanic cloud.- Survey of carbon stars and emission objects.- Detection of faint H? emission-line objects and carbon stars in the magellanic clouds.- A correlation between H?-extinction-excess and H? surface brightness.- Recent Studies of Gas and Dust in the Magellanic System.- Structure and Kinematics of the ISM in the LMC from HI 21-cm line emission.- Rlƒ|
