We review the recent theoretical and observational developments concerning the interaction
of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) with the Milky Way and its neighbourhood. An …

In this paper, we construct the circular velocity curve of the Milky Way out to∼ 30 kpc,
providing an updated model of the dark matter density profile. We derive precise parallaxes …

This Letter develops a method to constrain the cosmological constant Λ from binary
galaxies, focusing on the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies. We provide an analytical …

Isolated, low-mass galaxies provide the opportunity to assess the impact of reionization on
their star formation histories (SFHs) without the ambiguity of environmental processes …

Abstract The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) will induce a dynamical friction (DF) wake on
infall to the Milky Way (MW). The MW's stellar halo will respond to the gravity of the LMC and …

The dynamics of the Local Group (LG), especially the contribution of the Milky Way (MW)
and Andromeda (M 31) galaxies, is sensitive to the presence of dark energy. This work …

We present new mass estimates for Andromeda (M31) using the orbital angular momenta of
four satellite galaxies (M33, NGC 185, NGC 147, and IC 10) derived from existing proper …

From high resolution cosmological simulations of the Local Group in a realistic environment,
namely HESTIA simulations, we study the position and kinematic deviations that may arise …

Understanding the physical mechanism behind the formation of a corotating thin plane of
satellite galaxies, like the one observed around the Milky Way (MW), has been challenging …

The total mass of the Local Group and the masses of its primary constituents, the Milky Way
(MW) and M31, are important anchors for several cosmological questions. Recent …
