Uncovering the first-infall history of the LMC through its dynamical impact in the Milky Way halo

Yanjun Sheng, Yuan-Sen Ting, Xiang-Xiang Xue +2

The gravitational interactions between the LMC and the Milky Way cause dynamical perturbations in the MW halo, leading to biased distributions of stellar density and kinematics. We…
