The nebular complexes of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds
Abstract
Long exposures of the complexes of ionized hydrogen in both the LMC and SMC have been taken with the 48-in. SRC Schmidt camera through a H-alpha + forbidden NII interference filter of 100-A bandwidth. These plates and identifying charts are presented in a form in which little information is lost. A catalog of many individual emission regions in both these galaxies is also compiled. The relationships between the nebulosities and OB associations as well as between 21-cm neutral hydrogen emission and continuum radio emission are discussed, and a number of supernova-remnant candidates are listed for further study.
