On the Corotation of Milky Way Satellites: LMC-mass Satellites Induce Apparent Motions in Outer Halo Tracers

On the Corotation of Milky Way Satellites: LMC-mass Satellites Induce Apparent Motions in Outer Halo Tracers

Understanding the physical mechanism behind the formation of a corotating thin plane of satellite galaxies, like the one observed around the Milky Way (MW), has been challenging. The perturbations induced by a massive satellite galaxy, like the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), provide valuable insight...
