The highest-speed local dark matter particles come from the Large Magellanic Cloud
Gurtina Besla, Annika Peter, Nicolas Garavito-Camargo
Using N-body simulations of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC's) passage through the Milky Way (MW), tailored to reproduce observed kinematic properties of both galaxies, we show tha…
The Multidimensional Milky Way
Robyn E. Sanderson, Jeffrey L. Carlin, Emily C. Cunningham +6
Studying our Galaxy, the Milky Way (MW), gives us a close-up view of the interplay between cosmology, dark matter, and galaxy formation. In the next decade our understanding of the…
Hunting for the Dark Matter Wake Induced by the Large Magellanic Cloud
Nicolas Garavito-Camargo, Gurtina Besla, Chervin F. P Laporte +3
Satellite galaxies are predicted to generate gravitational density wakes as they orbit within the dark matter (DM) halos of their hosts, causing their orbits to decay over time. Th…
