Analysis of star clusters in the Magellanic System based on data from Gaia space mission

Star clusters in the Magellanic System are a valuable source of information about cosmological processes occurring beyond the Milky Way. The satellite galaxies, located exceptionally close, enable quantitative observations of these objects using various instruments, including the Gaia space mission, even though it was designed to observe much closer objects. This research compares datasets available in Gaia Data Release 3 and OGLE IV in the context of known star clusters in the Magellanic System. The goal of this study was to assess how much information about star clusters can be obtained from publicly available Gaia data. An analysis was conducted using data from the gaia_source repository and showed that Gaia DR3 can serve as a valuable data source complementing ground-based sky surveys with much deeper coverage, even though only about 1/3 of the known star clusters in this region are visible in the data collected by the space mission.
