Stars in star clusters in SMC and LMC

Astronomy Asked by MycrofD on February 24, 2021

Is there any catalog or any paper published in any journal that lists the stars discovered under whichever star cluster of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) they belong to? There is one for Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) in the paper Efremov 2003 “Cepheids in LMC clusters and the period-age relation”. But I can’t find any for SMC.

It would be better still if the stars happen to be Cepheids.

Finally, after searching quite a deal, I found this paper which would aptly answer the question.

The paper from 1999 published by Pietrzynski and Udalski in Acta Astronomica lists the Cepheids in the star clusters of Magellanic Clouds.

Vizier is a good resource for finding catalogs. Searching for "SMC+cepheid" I found a related paper (Udalski et al. 1999) with additional data http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/VizieR?-source=J/AcA/49/437. You can also look for "Similar Catalogs" though it may or may not be useful in this case.
