U-SMAC II. FUV catalog of sources detected in SMC
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is an irregular dwarf galaxy that has recently undergone an interaction with the Large Magellanic Cloud.
Description
The young massive stars in the SMC formed in the disturbed low-metallicity environment are important targets in astrophysics. We present a catalog of ~76,800 far-ultraviolet (FUV) sources toward the SMC detected using the Ultra Violet Imaging Telescope onboard AstroSat.
We created an FUV catalog with ~62,900 probable SMC members which predominantly comprise main-sequence, giant, and subgiant stars. We selected four young populations (Young 1, Young 2, Young 3, and Blue Loop (BL) stars) identified from the Gaia optical color-magnitude diagram to study the morphology and kinematics of the young SMC using this catalog. We detect a clumpy morphology with a broken bar, a shell-like structure, and the inner SMC Wing for the four stellar populations.

The eastern region and the northeastern regions are mainly populated by Young 1, 2, and 3 stars. The central region predominantly has the Young 2 and 3 populations, whereas the SW has BL stars, and Young 2 and 3 stars. The 2D kinematic study using proper motion (PM) reveals that Young 2 and 3 populations show two kinematically distinct subpopulations with low and high PM dispersion, whereas the Young 1 and BL stars show two kinematically distinct populations with low dispersion.
Our analysis points to a kinematic disturbance along the R.A. direction for stars younger than ~150Myr located in the eastern region, with no significant disturbance along the decl.
