The LMC Corona Favors a First Passage
Scott Lucchini, Jiwon Jesse Han, Sapna Mishra +1
We use constrained idealized simulations of the LMC/Milky Way interaction to determine if the size of the LMC's gaseous halo (Corona) can be used to distinguish between first and s…
Threading the Magellanic Needle: Hypervelocity Stars Trace the Past Location of the LMC
Scott Lucchini, Jiwon Jesse Han
Recent discoveries have shown that a population of hypervelocity stars (HVSs) originate from the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We use three such HVSs as dynamical tracers to constr…
New Interpretation for the Orientation of the LMC's Gaseous Arms B and E using ULLYSES
April Horton, Suraj Poudel, Kathleen A. Barger +20
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) experiences disruption from tidal and ram-pressure forces as it travels through the halo of the Milky Way. In this project, we combine radio emissi…
Invisible Accretion: Ionized Envelopes of TNG50 HVCs can Sustain Star Formation
Scott Lucchini, Jiwon Jesse Han, Lars Hernquist +2
Galactic high-velocity clouds (HVCs) are known to be complex, multiphase systems consisting of neutral and/or ionized gas moving at high velocities relative to the rotation of the…
Secular Attrition of Classical Bulges by Stellar Bars
Rachel Lee McClure, Tobias Géron, Elena D'Onghia +5
Classical bulges and stellar bars are common features in disk galaxies and serve as key tracers of galactic evolution. Angular momentum exchange at bar resonances drives secular mo…
A Pre-Infall Magellanic Analog-Corona and Stream formation in the \textsc{HESTIA} cosmological simulations
Robin Chisholm, Elena D'Onghia, Noam Libeskind +3
We identify and investigate a pre-infall analog of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC, SMC) in the HESTIA suite of constrained cosmological simulations. The system, dynamic…
