The total mass of the Large Magellanic Cloud from its perturbation on the Orphan stream

D. Erkal, V. Belokurov, C. F. P. Laporte +13

In a companion paper by Koposov et al., RR Lyrae from \textit{Gaia} Data Release 2 are used to demonstrate that stars in the Orphan stream have velocity vectors significantly misal…
