Stellar Populations in the Large Magellanic Cloud from 2MASS
Stellar Populations in the Large Magellanic Cloud from 2MASS
We present a morphological analysis of the feature-rich 2MASS LMC color-magnitude diagram, identifying Galactic and LMC populations and estimating the density of LMC populations alone. We also present the projected spatial distributions of various stellar populations. The conditions that prevailed when 2MASS observed the LMC provided 10 σ limiting sensitivity …
