[HTML][HTML] The effect of the LMC on the Milky Way system

E Vasiliev - Galaxies, 2023 - mdpi.com
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 …

S 5: Probing the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds potentials with the 6D map of the Orphan–Chenab stream

SE Koposov, D Erkal, TS Li, GS Da Costa… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We present a 6D map of the Orphan–Chenab (OC) stream by combining the data from
Southern Stellar Stream Spectroscopic Survey (S 5) and Gaia. We reconstruct the proper …

Dear Magellanic Clouds, welcome back!

E Vasiliev - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2024 - academic.oup.com
We propose a scenario in which the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is on its second
passage around the Milky Way. Using a series of tailored N-body simulations, we …

A tilted dark halo origin of the Galactic disk warp and flare

JJ Han, C Conroy, L Hernquist - Nature Astronomy, 2023 - nature.com
The outer disk of the Milky Way Galaxy is warped and flared. Several mechanisms have
been proposed to explain these phenomena, but none have quantitatively reproduced both …

Discovery of the Magellanic Stellar Stream Out to 100 kpc

V Chandra, RP Naidu, C Conroy… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The Magellanic Stream (MS)—an enormous ribbon of gas spanning 140 of the
southern sky trailing the Magellanic Clouds—has been exquisitely mapped in the five …

Streams on FIRE: Populations of Detectable Stellar Streams in the Milky Way and FIRE

N Shipp, N Panithanpaisal, L Necib… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the first detailed comparison of populations of dwarf galaxy stellar streams in
cosmological simulations and the Milky Way. In particular, we compare streams identified …

Distant Echoes of the Milky Way's Last Major Merger

V Chandra, RP Naidu, C Conroy, AP Ji… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
The majority of the Milky Way's stellar halo consists of debris from our galaxy's last major
merger, the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE). In the past few years, stars from the GSE have …

Mapping Dark Matter with Extragalactic Stellar Streams: The Case of Centaurus A

S Pearson, AM Price-Whelan, DW Hogg… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
In the coming decade, thousands of stellar streams will be observed in the halos of external
galaxies. What fundamental discoveries will we make about dark matter from these streams …

Impact of the Galactic bar on tidal streams within the Galactic disc-The case of the tidal stream of the Hyades

GF Thomas, B Famaey, G Monari, CFP Laporte… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org
Tidal streams of disrupted clusters are powerful probes of the gravitational potential of the
Galaxy and they are routinely detected in the stellar halo of the Milky Way. It was recently …

Structure, Kinematics, and Observability of the Large Magellanic Cloud's Dynamical Friction Wake in Cold versus Fuzzy Dark Matter

HR Foote, G Besla, P Mocz… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …
