The Proper Motion Field Along the Magellanic Bridge: a New Probe of the LMC-SMC Interaction
Paul Zivick, Nitya Kallivayalil, Gurtina Besla +6
We present the first detailed kinematic analysis of the proper motions (PMs) of stars in the Magellanic Bridge, from both the \textit{Gaia} Data Release 2 catalog and from \textit{…
The Missing Satellites of the Magellanic Clouds? Gaia Proper Motions of the Recently Discovered Ultra-Faint Galaxies
Nitya Kallivayalil, Laura Sales, Paul Zivick +7
According to LCDM theory, hierarchical evolution occurs on all mass scales, implying that satellites of the Milky Way should also have companions. The recent discovery of ultra-fai…
The Proper Motion Field of the Small Magellanic Cloud: Kinematic Evidence for its Tidal Disruption
Paul Zivick, Nitya Kallivayalil, Roeland P. van der Marel +9
We present a new measurement of the systemic proper motion of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), based on an expanded set of 30 fields containing background quasars and spanning a $…
