Journal ArticleDOI

Spitzer Survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud: Surveying the Agents of a Galaxy's Evolution (SAGE). I. Overview and Initial Results

TL;DR: The SAGE Legacy project as discussed by the authors performed a uniform and unbiased imaging survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC; 7° × 7°) using the IRAC (3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8 μm) and MIPS (24, 70, and 160μm) instruments on board the Spitzer Space Telescope.
Journal ArticleDOI

A model of the 8-25 micron point source infrared sky

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed model for the IR point-source sky is presented, which comprises geometrically and physically realistic representations of the Galactic disk, bulge, stellar halo, spiral arms (including the local arm), molecular ring, and the extragalactic sky.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spitzer SAGE survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud III: star formation and ~1000 new candidate young stellar objects

TL;DR: In this article, the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of a subset of YSOs were fitted and properties for those that were well fitted and the total mass of these well-fitted YSOIs was estimated to be approximately 2.1 × 10^6 L. The YSO population is biased toward intermediate-to high-mass and young evolutionary stages.
