The 14 pages that link to Small Magellanic Cloud, each with the reason it gives.

• Cepheid variableRelated: Its Cepheids lie at nearly the same distance from Earth, allowing Leavitt to compare their luminosities.

• Henrietta Swan LeavittRelated: Leavitt compared its Cepheids, which were approximately at a common distance from Earth.

• Dwarf galaxyBroader topic: Its interaction with the Large Magellanic Cloud has shaped its gas and stellar structure.

• Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal GalaxyCompared with: Its gas-rich irregular structure contrasts with Sagittarius’s spheroidal form and strong tidal disruption.

• Irregular galaxyBroader topic: Its shape and gas features make it a well-studied irregular galaxy.

• Magellanic CloudsBroader topic: Its disturbed shape and interaction with its neighbor distinguish the smaller member.

• Magellanic StreamBroader topic: Its gas and past encounters with the Large Cloud are central to formation scenarios.

• Satellite galaxyBroader topic: Its ongoing interaction with another satellite demonstrates that satellites can form bound pairs.

• 47 TucanaeRelated: The cluster lies in the same broad region of the sky as this neighboring galaxy.

• Magellanic BridgeRelated: Gas and stars stripped from it make up much of the Bridge.

• H I regionRelated: Its neutral hydrogen helps trace gas stripped and transferred during interaction with the Milky Way.

• TucanaBroader topic: This prominent galaxy lies within Tucana’s constellation boundaries.

• Magellanic spiralRelated: Its contrast with the Large Cloud shows that Magellanic appearance is not simply a shared satellite-galaxy trait.

• Satellite galaxies of the Milky WayBroader topic: Its interaction with the Large Magellanic Cloud has shaped both galaxies and surrounding gas.
