If you check the Astronomy Picture of the Day (also via [livejournal.com profile] apod ), you will see a rather gorgeous picture of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC)*. In it are 4 stars I am studying currently. Unfortunately they are shy souls who wont leap out of the picture and show where they are. One is a reasonably straight forward fellow with a fairly clean spectrum, one is middling, and two are inconsiderate complicated sods who may be hiding in dust clouds and delight in teasing... Hi guys, I just want to examine your mid to late life crises and see what strange things you have turned up... I suspect they ain't listening though.

*It may be considered rather sad and a sign of my deteriorating mental capacities that I can NEVER remember how to spell Magellanic, even after playing with these stars for a year now. Mind you it took 3/4 of a thesis to learn to spell Cepheid. Yipes, even LJ spellchecker knows those two...
