The proceedings of the Second European Meeting on "New
Aspects of MagellanicCloud Research" review the most recent
progress in the study of the LMC and SMC. The activities
within the ground-based ESO key programme "Coordinated
Investigations of Selected Regions in the Magellanic
Clouds", as well as new exciting observations from space
missions (ROSAT, IUE, ISO, IRAS) result in a more profound
insightinto the structure, kinematics, populations (stars,
clusters, interstellar medium), and the chemical composition
and evolution of the Magellanic Cloud system.
The book addresses researchers and graduate students in
astrophysics.
This volume gives an almost exhaustive survey of recent research from various ESO projects and presents the known satellite observations of the Magellanic Clouds. It deals with their structure and kinematics, their stellar population, interstellar medium and clusters, and their chemical composition.
