"A Spitzer View of Star
Formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud" |
|
The Spitzer Space Telescope has made it possible to survey massive young stellar objects (YSOs) in nearby galaxies, such as the Magellanic Clouds. The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) has been mapped with Spitzer IRAC and MIPS in the Legacy program Surveying the Agents of a Galaxy's Evolution (SAGE). Using this survey, two independent investigations of LMC YSOs have been published: Whitney et al (2008) and Gruendl and Chu (2009). These two studies yielded two very different catalogs. I will discuss the differences between these two catalogs and highlight the massive star formation revealed by Spitzer observations. |
