We present a mid-infrared analysis of star-formation activity in the Large Magellanic Cloud's molecular ridge (south of 30 Doradus). The Magellanic Clouds are a rare laboratory in which extragalactic star-formation diagnostics can be tested at high spatial resolution. ... Detailed analysis in very nearby galaxies, like the Magellanic Clouds, allows us to test and better understand the scaling relations used in unresolved and distant star-formation regions. ...

... On Nov 20, 1995, a suborbital rocket payload launched from Woomera, Australia obtained the first ultraviolet polarimetry of diffuse light in a galaxy. The Wide-Field Imaging Survey Polarimeter ("WISP") is a fast off-axis Schmidt telescope with ultraviolet polarimetric optics and a UV-sensitized CCD. ... In this poster we will compare the WISP data with visible and infrared images of the LMC, with the goal of delineating the geometric distribution of the diffuse dust in the LMC. ...

Weak Lensing Constraints on Dark Matter Halos Tereasa Brainerd Institute for Astrophysical Research, Boston University, USA It is currently thought that all large galaxies reside within massive dark matter halos. Despite the apparent ubiquity of such halos and their importance for developing a complete picture of the history of galaxy formation, the characteristic parameters (e.g., total mass, physical extent, and shape) of these objects remain largely unconstrained at present. ...
