MAGMA: The Magellanic Mopra Assessment |
by Tony Wong (University of Illinois) |
MAGMA is a CO mapping survey of the Large
and Small Magellanic Clouds
using the 22-m Mopra Telescope of the Australia Telescope National
Facility (ATNF). Observations were conducted in 2005-2010 with additional
data from 2012-2013 soon to be incorporated. Regions for mapping were
selected based on the earlier NANTEN surveys. MAGMA has provided new
insights into how molecular cloud populations differ among galaxies, and
has been widely used for comparison with images at other wavelengths and
for planning observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter
Array (ALMA). More information can be found at the link above. The LMC color-composite image is composed of the MAGMA CO intensity image (in green) overlaid on an ATCA HI intensity image (in red) and the Magellanic Cloud Emission Line Survey MCELS Hα image (in blue). |
