SN 2008ha: AN EXTREMELY LOW LUMINOSITY AND EXCEPTIONALLY LOW ENERGY SUPERNOVA (2009, unknown): “Using the same calibration for the far-IR luminosity, Whitney et al. (2008) find a SFR for the LMC of 0.17 M⊙ yr −1, about 2.5 times larger than that of UGC 12682 (while the LMC is about 1.5 times more luminous).”
THE SECOND SURVEY OF THE MOLECULAR CLOUDS IN THE LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD BY NANTEN. II. STAR FORMATION (2009, methodology): “Recent surveys of the Magellanic Clouds by the IR satellites, like Spitzer (e.g., Mexiner et al. 2006, “Surveying the Agents of a Galaxy’s Evolution”) and AKARI (e.g., Ita et al. 2008; Murakami et al. 2007) have been strong tools to identify younger, and lower mass YSOs (Whitney et al. 2008).”
The role of dwarf galaxy interactions in shaping the Magellanic System and implications for Magellanic Irregulars (2012, methodology): “The third column indicates the mean values determined from Hα and MIPS emission by Whitney et al. (2008) for the LMC and from IR and Hα by Wilke et al. (2004) and Kennicutt & Hodge (1986), respectively.”
THE MAGELLANIC MOPRA ASSESSMENT (MAGMA). I. THE MOLECULAR CLOUD POPULATION OF THE LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD (2011, methodology): “…fluxes and colors of sources in the LMC derived from Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) and Spitzer Space Telescopeobservations have been used by Whitney et al. (2008) (hereafter W08) and Gruendl & Chu (2009) (hereafter GC09) to obtain lists of candidate young stellar objects (YSOs).”
STAR FORMATION IN MASSIVE CLUSTERS VIA THE WILKINSON MICROWAVE ANISOTROPY PROBE AND THE SPITZER GLIMPSE SURVEY (2009, result): “Our estimate for the LMC is slightly lower than but consistent wih the estimate of 0.25M⊙yr−1 found using Hα and MIPS data by Whitney et al. (2008).”
The SAGE-Spec Spitzer Legacy Program: The Life Cycle of Dust and Gas in the Large Magellanic Cloud (2010, methodology): “There have been three LMC-wide photometric classification efforts of YSOs in the past decade: Whitney et al. (2008), Gruendl & Chu (2009) and Seale et al. (2014), whilst four detailed studies focused on individual star formation regions: Chen et al. (2009, 2010), Romita et al. (2010) and Carlson et…”
SPITZER SAGE INFRARED PHOTOMETRY OF MASSIVE STARS IN THE LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD (2009, background): “The SAGE infrared point source catalog has so far enabled studies of evolved stars (Blum et al. 2006; Hora et al. 2008; Srinivasan et al. 2009), young stellar objects (Whitney et al. 2008), and variables (Vijh et al. 2009); however, the hot massive star population remains unexplored.”
STAR FORMATION IN THE CENTRAL 400 PC OF THE MILKY WAY: EVIDENCE FOR A POPULATION OF MASSIVE YOUNG STELLAR OBJECTS (2009, methodology): “For our adopted IMF, this population produces ionizing photons at a rate Q ≈ 3× 1050 s−1 and a brehmsstrahlung flux of ∼ 50 Jy at 5GHz.”
SURVEYING THE AGENTS OF GALAXY EVOLUTION IN THE TIDALLY STRIPPED, LOW METALLICITY SMALL MAGELLANIC CLOUD (SAGE-SMC). I. OVERVIEW (2011, result): “This number is consistent with the few thousand high reliability YSOs discovered in the SAGE-LMC data (Whitney et al. 2008; Gruendl & Chu 2009) when the different survey areas are taken into account.”
HIGH- AND INTERMEDIATE-MASS YOUNG STELLAR OBJECTS IN THE LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD (2009, methodology): “The SAGE team has identified YSOs by using the latter massive YSO models to predict locations of YSOs in different combinations of CMDs, and using known evolved stars, planetary nebulae (PNe), and other contaminants to mark regions in the CMDs to avoid (Whitney et al. 2008).”
The global gas and dust budget of the Large Magellanic Cloud: AGB stars and supernovae, and the impact on the ISM evolution (2009, background): “The possibility that they are YSOs is not discarded, but if so the Ks ∼ 13 mag implies a relatively high mass (between 5 and 10 M ; Whitney et al. 2008).”
