Parallel sessions

The Magellanic Clouds are two dwarf galaxies within our Local Group and are some of the most well studied astrophysical systems in the Universe. Due to their proximity, the Magellanic Clouds act as unique stellar laboratories since their individual stellar populations can be resolved. In addition, both the Large Magellanic Cloud and Small Magellanic Cloud are more metal-poor than our Galaxy, enabling detailed metallicity studies to be carried out. The Magellanic Clouds are constituents of the larger Magellanic System, a highly disrupted system that allows evolutionary and interaction history studies to be performed, which can then be applied to the wider cosmological context. In this session, we bring together both theoretical and observational astronomers who study the Magellanic Clouds. This may include the study of the structure and evolution of this system, the study of its stellar populations, the study of the variable star populations and their use in the cosmic distance ladder, as well as any other astrophysical phenomenon relating to the Magellanic Clouds. With the advent of new facilities such as the Vera Rubin Observatory and JWST, this session will also be an excellent opportunity to discuss future research relating to the Magellanic Clouds using such facilities.
