cds-question@unistra.frmagellanic-cloudsphotometryWe report on observations of the stellar populations in 12 fields spanning the region between the Magellanic Clouds, made with the Mosaic II camera on the 4m telescope at the Cerro-Tololo Inter-American Observatory. The two main goals of the observations are to characterize the young stellar population (which presumably formed in situ in the Bridge and therefore represents the nearest stellar population formed from tidal debris), and to search for an older stellar component (which would have been stripped from either Cloud as stars, by the same tidal forces that formed the gaseous Bridge). We determine the star formation history of the young inter-Cloud population, which provides a constraint on the timing of the gravitational interaction that formed the Bridge. We do not detect an older stellar population belonging to the Bridge in any of our fields, implying that the material that was stripped from the Clouds to form the Magellanic Bridge was very nearly a pure gas.2007ApJ...658..345Hhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/658/345CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/other/PASAu/6.471 : Magellanic Clouds bridge region HI profiles (McGee+ 1986)J/ApJS/101/41 : SMC and Bridge extended catalog (Bica+ 1995)J/MNRAS/339/105 : Western Magellanic Bridge HI observations (Muller+, 2003)J/ApJ/658/358 : Magellanic Bridge Herbig Ae/Be JHKs mag (Nishiyama+ 2007)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/658/345https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/658/345http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/658/345https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/658/345https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/658/345http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/658/345GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJ/658/345/table4 (Photometry of stars in Magellanic Bridge Fields)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/658/345/table4?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/658/345/table4?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/658/345/table4?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true25.794583-74.6308330.0055555555555555565/8239 8244 8248 6/32885 32886 32887 32889 32890 32891 32892 32928 32930 32953 32967 32973 32974 32975 32980 32982 32984 32996 33002 33034 33035 33056 33057https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJ/658/345?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/ApJ/658/345/table4Photometry of stars in Magellanic Bridge FieldsrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
