Young Magellanic Cloud Clusters (< 1 Gyr): Census, Properties, Star Formation History
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
We report preliminary results from an automated cluster survey of the Magellanic Clouds aimed at improving the cluster census and at deriving cluster properties from their resolved stellar content. The survey is tripling the number of known clusters. The cluster age distribution shows similar peaks at 100–200 Myr in LMC and SMC, coincident with the closest encounter of the Clouds and perigalacticon.
