"Exploring the Extended
Structure surrounding the Magellanic Clouds" |
|
I will describe a multi-band imaging survey of select fields around the Large & Small Magellanic Clouds being done with the Blanco 4m telescope at CTIO. The survey is optimized for the detection of extended structure, with the capability of discriminating metallicities and ages from the stellar photometry from these data, which reach well past the turn-off luminosity of the oldest known stars. We are able to trace the structure to unprecedented levels, and are confronted with a few unexpected revelations. |
