As nearby neighbors to the Milky Way, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) provide a unique opportunity to study star formation in the context of their galactic ecosystems. Thousands of young stellar objects (YSOs) have been characterized with large-scale Spitzer and Herschel surveys. In this paper, we present new near-IR spectroscopy of five high-mass YSOs in the LMC and one in the SMC. We detect multiple hydrogen recombination lines, as well as He I 2.058 $mu$m, H$_2$, [Fe II], and [S III] in these highly excited sources. We estimate the internal extinction of each source and find that it is highest for sources with the youngest evolutionary classifications. Using line ratios, we assess the dominant excitation mechanism in the three sources where we detect both H$_2$ 2.12 $mu$m and [Fe II] 1.64 $mu$m. In each case, photoexcitation dominates over shock excitation. Finally, we detect CO bandhead absorption in one of our LMC sources. While this feature is often associated with evolved stars, this object is likely young with strong PAH and fine-structure emission lines tracing an H II region detected at longer wavelengths. Compared to high-mass YSOs in the Galaxy, our sources have higher bolometric and line luminosities, consistent with their selection as some of the brightest sources in the LMC and SMC.
Near-infrared H- and K-band spectra are presented for 247 objects, selected from the Red MSX Source (RMS) survey as potential young stellar objects (YSOs). 195 (~80%) of the targets are YSOs, of which 131 are massive YSOs (L_BOL > 5x10^3 L_solar), M
We present Herschel Space Observatory Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS) and Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver Fourier Transform Spectrometer (SPIRE FTS) spectroscopy of a sample of twenty massive Young Stellar Objects (YSOs)
(Abridged) Photometry of archival Spitzer observations of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are used to search for young stellar objects (YSOs). Simple mid-infrared selection criteria were used to exclude most normal and evolved stars and background g
We present new observations of 34 YSO candidates in the SMC. The anchor of the analysis is a set of Spitzer-IRS spectra, supplemented by groundbased 3-5 micron spectra, Spitzer and NIR photometry, optical spectroscopy and radio data. The sources SEDs
Recent studies have shown that an extended main-sequence turn-off is a common feature among intermediate-age clusters (1--3 Gyr) in the Magellanic Clouds. Multiple-generation star formation and stellar rotation or interacting binaries have been propo
